All proceeds will go towards the fundraiser for an Emergency Response Vehicle in the West Waterford area. This vehicle will ensure life-saving assistance can be provided to those in need. The Rapid Response Vehicle will cover West Waterford, the Copper Coast along with the Comeragh Mountains and surrounding areas.

A Rapid Response Vehicle will be able to respond to incidents like cardiac arrest, road traffic collisions, workplace and farming accidents, and much more. It will enable a volunteer doctor to provide life-saving treatment on the scene while an ambulance is on the way, whether it's on the side of a road, in schools, workplaces, or in your own home. Essentially it will bring the Accident & Emergency room to the scene of the emergency.
