At our last meeting, Grace Bridgeman of Girl Scout Troop 63317 shared her Silver Award project: a life-saving Stop the Bleed program.
Grace, an 8th grader at Hillsborough Middle School, partnered with the Hillsborough Township Fire District to train 20 residents from Hillsborough and neighboring communities in how to control life-threatening bleeding. We were proud to help fund this project!
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after an injury, and a person can die in as little as five minutes, often before help arrives. Calling 911 is critical, but bystanders who know what to do can save lives.
Congratulations, Grace, on an impactful project and a true example of community leadership!
