Albany Trailhead of Lake Wobegon Trail

08/13/2024

We are in need of additional active board members to help manage the Lake Wobegon Trails Association. I have been involved with the association since the early 2000s and plan to retire by November 15th, 2024.

We are a great organization! The organization’s mission is to promote the Lake Wobegon Trails, the communities and businesses along the trails and to support Stearns County Parks in their efforts to maintain and improve the trails.

We have 3 successful events that have been around for a long time. The Caramel Roll Ride has been around for 25 years, and the Lady Slipper Nature Ride and the Caramel Apple Rides have been around for 13 years each. Please check it out and see how you can be a part of the trails association.

Here's an Article that explains more about the AED project to put AED's on the Lake Wobegon Trails. I posted about the effort to install an AED in Albany earlier today. I have had heart issues myself and know of others who have too. Certainly many of our LWT trail users could potentially benefit from the AED.

Please help by making a donation if you can. The web page to go to make a donation is:

I received this email asking for support to Install an AED on the trail at Albany. This is a very worthy cause! Please help out by donating if you can! Thank you! Cliff Borgerding

Hello Cliff,
We have a go fund me page so we can add another unit to the Lake Wobegon Trail in Albany. We need your help in funding and ask for your support. We currently have units in St. Joseph and Avon along the trail.

We have attached a QR Code to send out so people who would like to donate to the outdoor AED on the trail are able to. The web page to go to is: www.givemn.org/story/Albanydental

We have one large donation to get us started and look forward to attaining our goal.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in the USA, with over 350,000 Americans dying every year. The only treatment for SCA is CPR & a shock from a lifesaving defibrillator (also known as an AED); combined they take the chance of survival from less than 5% to upwards of 80%.

Advocates for Health is a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to increasing the chance of survival from SCA by placing AEDs throughout Minnesota communities. To date we have placed over 150 life-saving AEDs in publicly accessible outdoor AED smart cabinets.
Thanks for your help getting the word out.

Advocates for Health
