In Memorial to Tracy Merrill Bedell
Donation protected
UPDATE:
Through months of hard work and amazing support from the community, we have been able to purchase the first Stryker Lucas 3 device. This first device is being presented to Vergennes Area Rescue Squad on October 30th. Thank you everyone who has donated to the Memorial Fund.
This new device will allow Vergennes to have the ability use the device during an event of Cardiac Arrest. It will give them the ability to focus on additional live saving interventions and not on compressions.
We are still looking to raise $11,500 to purchase Bristol Rescue Squad with a Stryker Lucas 3 device. Donations can be made through this gofundme page or by sending a check to Vergennes Area Rescue Squad or Bristol Rescue Squad. Please consider donating.

On July 31st, 2020 my grandson, Tracy Bedell and his friend, Bobby, died of injuries sustained in an ATV/Motor Vehicle Accident. Tracy was a bright young man with a promising future. Both boys grew up in our local community and graduated from Mount Abraham High School. Tracy loved working on cars and playing on his xbox. He was loved by many for his unique ways and gave his best to help, love and respect everyone he came to know. Tracy enjoyed outdoors sports, swimming and camping. He was interested in mechanical trades and worked at Green Mountain Electrical Supply. Tracy will be severely missed by his family and friends.
Now it is time to honor his memory by supporting the fire and rescue members who gave their best effort to save their lives. Members from Vergennes Area Rescue Squad, Bristol Rescue Squad, Bristol Fire Department, Starksboro Fire and First response, Richmond Rescue and UVM Medical Center Healthnet4 responded to provide care.
After consulting with Vergennes Area Rescue Squad and Bristol Rescue Squad, both squads expressed a need in purchasing a mechanical CPR device. The LUCAS CPR device improves the delivery of CPR therapy by providing high quality chest compressions for long periods of time in difficult situations. This device allows personnel additional lifesaving interventions during a time of need.
I am looking to raise funds to purchase 2 Lucas 3 CPR devices, 1 for Bristol Rescue Squad and 1 for Vergennes Area Rescue Squad. This cost is to be estimated at $30,000.
Thank you for your consideration of a donation.
