Fundraising efforts by Christopher Gaunt and Chris Grant will make the Scenic Rim community safer.
The two men formed micro business Collective Creations (CC Squared) in 2020, with a view to fundraising over $2,000 for a community defibrillator.
One of the inspirations for the fundraising was yellow OG Wiggle Greg Page who suffered a heart attack at a bushfire relief reunion show in 2020.
He received CPR on-site from a nurse in the audience and a defibrillator which was credited with saving his life.
Christopher Gaunt is a huge Wiggles fan and this event led to the idea of a community defibrillator.
Christopher and Chris began their fundraising by making timber products at the Wongaburra Men’s Shed and selling them through the Beaudesert Markets.
The products included cute timber owls which gained a strong following with people in the local community.
