Today is Restart a Heart Day! CPR & AEDs save lives - You don’t need to be trained - (but like most things training makes it easier) Most cardiac arrests occur at home: - the person you save could be a family member or a friend #RestartAHeart #RSAH #CPR #AED

Sending our very best wishes to all running tomorrow! This year we don’t have anyone running for our volunteer charity. Could you run next year? If donating, please choose a charity that is run by unpaid volunteers - your support means so much more if no staff costs ❤️ #AI
