Andrew’s Legacy is a charity devoted to equipping all schools, sports fields and recreation centres with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Created in memory of Andrew Stoddart who lost his life to sudden cardiac arrest, the charity also raises awareness and delivers education about the life saving measures of CPR and the operation of AEDs. To date, they have helped with the installation of 55 AEDs in London and have driven policy change. As of 2020, all schools in the Thames Valley District School Board will be outfitted with AEDs. The charity, in partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, helped ensure the passing of Bill 141 which will see an AED registry developed for Ontario.
