The build-up series will continue tomorrow, but today is the time to share two great pieces of news regarding sponsoring and partnership.
This is the first one:
Canadian Legend Cliff Thorburn has today announced he will be working with Purple Pharma at next week’s ROKiT World Seniors Snooker Championship promoting and encouraging people to carry Bleed Kits
Trauma is the leading cause of death for people under 40 in the Uk, having a bleed control kit on the scene means quick and immediate action to control a catastrophic bleed before the emergency services arrive.
Cliff said “When I played I was known as a tough match player, someone once said of my play that every shot was a pint of blood, I was stunned to hear how many lives could be saved if more of these kits were on site and people learnt the skills to make a difference”
As part of Cliffs promotion of Purple Pharma every ROKiT World Seniors Event will carry Bleed Kits on site. A kit like the one pictured costs just £32.50 plus Vat and delivery. You can get one by calling 07383 432 627 or email orders@purplepharma.com
