Charitable Status
On 8 February 2011, the Charity Commission of the United Kingdom granted Charitable Status to the ‘Cardiac Athletes AED Fund’ (Charity Number: 1140298).
However, Lars moved to Australia and therefore had to close this charity account. In it’s place he created the CA Ambassador Project.
Funding
No money that comes in goes to me personally. I can always do with help keeping this website afloat and developing this community further. Thank you.
