We are running the Cambridge Half Marathon to keep our hearts healthy and raise £1400 to buy a defibrillator for Castle Special School.

Each year in Britain around 30,000 people are struck by sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital environments. They can affect anyone at any time – from young children at school, to adults when they’re at home, work or out in public places.

If victims aren’t treated properly, more often than not, cardiac arrests are fatal. The British Heart Foundation’s figures show that only one in ten victims survive.

The figures below really underline the horrific impact cardiac arrests have on victims, especially the families of young children who suffer an attack.

• 12 people under the age of 35 die each week from sudden cardiac arrest
• 270 children die from sudden cardiac arrest suffered on school premises

Whenever cardiac arrest strikes, there is absolutely no time to lose.

Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a victim’s survival rate by 7 to 10 per cent

They’re that important.

Without immediate treatment, 90-95 per cent of cardiac arrests prove fatal.

If a defibrillator is used within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest, survival rates jump from 6 per cent to 74 per cent .
