Honoring a Beloved Father and Grandfather: Join us in Equipping Our Community with Life-Saving AEDs

In Memory of Christopher Michael Collens

On behalf of the Collens Family, we are grateful for the support and help that our community and neighbors came to help our beloved dad, husband and grandfather when he suffered a fatal heart attack walking his granddaughter to school. We know that those precious seconds matter, and having an AED within reach would have been the optimal scenario to our community that was there for him. It was brought to our attention that Dorothy Lynus Elementary in North Vancouver does not have an AED, and as a legacy and gift in Grandpa Chris’ name, we appreciate any funds raised to support the purchase of an AED, and all the necessary training to ensure our community hub will have that essential piece of equipment to help when ready.

Much love, from Myelle, Sonya, Kim, Michelle and Murray.
