A series of recent cardiac incidents involving athletes has spurred a new campaign promoting CPR education. Footballer Tom Lockyer, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a game, has become a central figure in this initiative. Alongside other notable footballers like Glenn Hoddle, Graeme Souness, David Ginola, and Fabrice Muamba, Lockyer is advocating for widespread CPR training, supported by the British Heart Foundation and Sky Bet. The campaign, titled 'Every Minute Matters', aims to teach lifesaving CPR to 270,000 people. Lockyer, expressing his readiness to retire if necessary, emphasizes the importance of CPR education following his experience of being 'technically dead' for over two minutes.
Premier League footballer Tom Lockyer has said he "would love to play again", but is "at peace" with retiring from the game after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch earlier this season. ๐ Read more https://t.co/4ODGRSWIlz
