June Highlights!
Krazy Carts, Big Hearts – All for LIVES– Your June Update
June was full of energy, community and incredible challenges.
We returned to the Lincolnshire Show, were proud to be the headline charity at the Lincoln Krazy Races, and saw supporters take on some seriously impressive feats. From Keith’s moving story of the care he received, to John’s 400-mile cycling challenge at 80 years old, to the brilliant teams riding coast-to-coast-to-coast — this month has shown just how much LIVES means to Lincolnshire.
Here’s what we’ve been up to.

LIVES Volunteers in Action
Lincolnshire Show
At the Lincolnshire Show, we were proud to have trained 526 people in CPR, empowering more members of the community to save lives. A huge thank you to everyone who donated and took the time to speak with us, as well as to all those whose lives have been helped by LIVES and who shared their stories with us. Your support and voices inspire us every day.

Keith’s Story
“LIVES got there first.”
On Good Friday, Keith, a full-time farmer, became trapped in a ditch, pinned by a forklift with no immediate help nearby. After calling 999 and being told an ambulance could take up to two hours to arrive, LIVES reached him within 15 minutes to provide urgent care and reassurance. Keith was later taken to hospital and, thankfully, suffered no serious injuries. He returned home safely, joking that the only lasting damage was a very expensive pair of wellies.
