""Every year, more than 40,000 people in the UK suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and most of them never make it home. "I'm here today because of the transformative power of CPR as every minute matters when it comes to saving a life. "This February, we want everyone to get behind this life-saving initiative, learn the skills and be ready to step in because your actions could give someone else the chance I was given.""
