Volunteers are set to complete as many CPR compressions as possible this Valentine’s Day, with a goal fundraising target of \u00a35,000 for the Yorkshire Ambulance Charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica Woodhouse, a spokesperson for Meadowhall, said: \u201cMeadowhall is putting heart health at the centre of Valentine\u2019s Day as it prepares to host a 24-hour \u2018CPR-a-thon\u2019 tomorrow to raise awareness of lifesaving CPR skills and raise funds for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaking place from Friday 13 February at 3pm, the continuous 24-hour event will see Yorkshire Ambulance Service volunteers performing CPR on training manikins to increase public confidence in hands-only CPR and the importance of early intervention in cardiac arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the fundraising event is Bob Reville, who experienced a sudden cardiac arrest in 2013 in the Oasis Dining Quarter in Meadowhall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob received life-saving CPR from a member of the Meadowhall security team, Steve Clark and his colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Reville said: \u201cI feel extremely grateful to Steve and the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If it wasn\u2019t for Steve\u2019s quick actions, not only may I have not been here now, but I certainly would not be living the life I am now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have made virtually a full recovery and that\u2019s purely down to how quickly Steve started CPR.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds raised through the initiative will be used to provide free basic lifesaving training, including CPR, in local communities and the installation of public access defibrillators across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will also be used to support the wellbeing of Yorkshire Ambulance Service colleagues and volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meadowhall is currently equipped with two public access defibrillators, located on the Lower High Street and in the Customer Hub, helping to support the safety of visitors and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will take place on the lower level of the Gallery, outside Primark and Next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Aston, Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity officer, said: \u201cThe Yorkshire Ambulance Service charity relies entirely on the generous donations from individuals and businesses to enable it to support and provide life-saving initiatives across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe simply could not do it without your help.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
