In my research, I have found an interesting topic at hand. The number of deaths that are caused by lack of first aid is almost equivalent to the number of deaths caused by cancer. In 2010, cancer killed 141,446 people, St. John's Ambulance estimated around 140,000 people died because of the lack of first aid. This statistic is provided by St. John Ambulance and was published so people start realizing how important first aid really is. In order for us to raise awareness we have to create a medium in which to deliver the message. Some ways we could possibly raise awareness is by creating a website, in which people are informed of the dangers of not having first aid assistance at hand. Another way we could raise awareness is by creating a first aid kit that is informed about when and what to use a certain tool for an emergency. All of these are viable options in a sense that people will still receive the knowledge of first aid. Some challenges that may appear before us, are the people's opinion to respond to this action or if we would be able to get the people's attention in the first place. All of these are factors I have to consider before creating a medium in which to spread the information. What kind of creative medium would grab the audience's attention? How should i present it? These are just some of the question's I have to keep in mind.

Since creating a first-aid kit from scratch would be almost impossible with just household items, what else could we do to give them basic knowledge of first aid and supply them with a first aid kit? There are an average of 150,000 people could be saved each year, but the lack of first aid knowledge has killed over several thousands of people. This statistic could've been lowered if even one person from each of the scenarios, knew how to properly act, the person's life may have been saved. By giving these people the knowledge of first aid assistance and a first aid kit, even a normal bystander could save a life. In order to supply people with the knowledge of first aid assistance we could raise awareness of this problem or raise money to supply people in need of first aid assistance. Some ways we could raise awareness is by creating a website, creating posters, or just telling friends and family. All of our efforts may allow someone one day to save a life.
