A BRAVE mum's campaign to save lives in memory of her tragic ten-year-old son has put a record breaking number of defibs on Inverclyde's streets.

Kathleen Orr launched the Tele-backed Show Some Heart push in a bid to dramatically increase the chances of survival for anyone suffering a cardiac arrest.

At the time of her Jayden's death there were only three registered in the whole of the district for the Scottish Ambulance to call on in an emergency.

Two years on that figure stands at 52 - and is still set to rise.

Now Kathleen and the Tele have been praised in parliament for the campaign.

In a moving speech at Holyrood Inverclyde's MSP Stuart McMillan paid a moving tribute to the Orrs for their courage.

He said: "The Orr family have shown a strength and determination that will not exist in many people, and the respect and support they have been shown from the Inverclyde community has been incredible.

"The campaign has been fully supported at the outset by the Greenock Telegraph and myself.

"The results of the campaign have been hugely positive.

"Thus far, the number of defibs registered in Inverclyde has increased from a single figure to 52 as of December.

"This huge increase is primarily as a result of the fundraising to purchase more defibs as well as the campaign raising awareness to get defibs registered."

In August 2017 Kathleen's son Jayden collapsed and died while ice skating.

No defibrillator was on hand to be used and after his death his family vowed to bring about changes in his memory.

Together with the Tele and Mr McMillan the family set about raising money to put devices into schools and community places.

They also want to ensure as many people learn how to use the machines and bring about changes to planning law so that all public buildings over a certain size must be fitted with defibs.

During the parliament debate about defibrillators Mr McMillan listed the highlights of the campaign.

These included a partnership with St Andrew's First Aid, who have donated a further 30 machines.

Last year Kathleen and her family won a special award at the first aid organisation's annual prizegiving, pictured.

Mr McMillan added: "I am immensely proud of my community and how it has, and continues to, rally round the Jayden Orr campaign and the family.

"Nothing will ever bring Jayden back but knowing that placing defibs strategically across the community and helping to increase training are two ways of knowing that other families will not need to endure the loss of their child."
