About Us

100% Volunteer-Driven

LifeLine is made up of passionate volunteers who give their time, energy, and heart to help make the Cayman Islands safer. No one receives a salary—our mission is fueled entirely by community spirit and a shared commitment to saving lives.

Our Vision

A Cayman where no life is lost to sudden cardiac arrest because help was out of reach. We envision a community where AEDs are everywhere they’re needed, and everyone feels confident to step in and save a life.

Our Mission

To strengthen the Cayman Islands’ readiness to respond to sudden cardiac arrest by improving access to AEDs, supporting community awareness, and empowering bystanders to take life-saving action.
