When we heard about the Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity 's 24-hour CPRathon, we asked if there was a way we could contribute, even in some small way.
We're grateful they said yes.
A sincere thank you to Carey Taylor and the YAS Charity team for welcoming us, and to our Brand Ambassador Chris Solomons , himself a cardiac arrest survivor who continues to work with the service.
One moment that will stay with us: meeting Bob Reville and Steve Clark.
Steve resuscitated Bob at Meadowhall . Hearing their story, from both perspectives, was a powerful reminder that survival is real people, in real moments, making real decisions.
And that's exactly what we saw throughout the day. Members of the public stopping, asking questions, and practising. Every one of those conversations carried the same quiet truth: CPR is where survival begins.
A defibrillator is a vital piece of the chain, but it relies on effective CPR to maintain circulation and give a shockable rhythm the best possible chance of being treated. Without those compressions, the window closes fast.
Events like the CPRathon matter. Not as one-off moments, but as part of a sustained effort to build confidence in communities across the country. We hope this becomes annual, and we'd welcome the chance to do more.
As a manufacturer of AED cabinets and a supplier of defibrillators, our responsibility doesn't stop at the equipment. It extends to supporting the education and preparedness that make that equipment effective.
CPR first. Always.
Have you ever had CPR training? We'd genuinely like to hear your experience.
