I am a cardiac arrest survivor, CPR trainer, and speaker on survival and resilience. Four and a half years ago, I suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at home with no prior warning. My life was saved by my wife’s immediate CPR, followed by ambulance and air ambulance response. After three days in a coma, I awoke to a new reality, including living with a Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (S-ICD). Today, I share my experience to help organisations understand the importance of rapid response, CPR training, and creating environments where people are prepared to act when every second counts. I am a volunteer CPR/AED trainer for East Anglian Air Ambulance and a community cardiac first responder. I have given a motivational lived experience talks to a UK solicitor's office and regularly train.
