From Survival to Story: A Campaign to Showcase the Power of Defibs
By Josh Bell, Charitable and Schools Correspondent
In an inspiring collaboration, Ian Phillips of Ian Phillips Photography has partnered with Josh Bell and the award-winning Donate For Defib W-s-M Project to launch a heartfelt campaign titled “Real Lives. Real Stories.”
This powerful new initiative is calling on real people with real experiences involving defibrillators to come forward and share their stories.
If you have survived thanks to a defib, helped save someone else using one, watched a loved one walk away because a defib was nearby — your story matters.
“Every testimony has the power to move hearts and change minds,” says Josh Bell, Project Lead for Donate For Defib. “These stories aren’t just moments — they’re proof that defibrillators save lives. We want to capture that truth and share it with the world.”
As part of the campaign, short recorded interviews and social videos will be produced to spotlight these personal experiences and raise public awareness.
The goal? To inspire action, promote defibrillator access, and grow a more prepared and informed community.
