The ALS Baby Trainer was one of 161 pieces donated by the Humpty Dumpty charity’s generous supporters at this year’s Balmoral Burn over the weekend in late May.
The ALS Baby Trainer is a portable skill trainer for realistic infant resuscitation training. The manikin is a three-month-old infant with an anatomy that offers exceptional realism, providing the opportunity to practice advanced resuscitation skills, including airway management, professional rescuer CPR, vascular access and four-lead ECG monitoring.
The fundraising weekend commenced with the annual Friday night Sponsors’ Dinner and was followed up on Sunday with the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn fun-run. Created by Wallaby great Phil Kearns AM, this family-friendly event was attended by approximately 10,000 people from across Sydney.
With a 420 metre race category that suits every member of the family including the pet bird, cat or dog, the Balmoral Burn also includes a high intensity obstacle challenge, ‘Hill of Hurt’ and is held on the last Sunday of May each year.
Thus far this year’s event has raised over $2.5million with donations continuing to be made.
