A physio has received national recognition for saving the life of a man who suffered a cardiac arrest while playing golf.
Aaron Lambley, from Radbrook, in Shrewsbury, was named as a CPR hero by the British Heart Foundation at a star-studded awards ceremony in London.
Aaron was presented with his award by football legend David Ginola, whose own life was saved by CPR after he had a cardiac arrest in May 2016. Guy, who also attended the event and saw Aaron receive his award, said: “I owe my life to Aaron – it’s as simple as that. Without him, I’m not sure I’d be here today. I’m also very thankful for the BHF and the work they do promoting CPR. I have been raising money for them and I plan to continue supporting them in the future.”
Winners included children battling life-threatening conditions, heart surgery survivors, and those who have raised huge amounts of money for the BHF’s lifesaving research.Guests and award presenters included TV presenter Will Njobvu, gymnasts Ellie and Becky Downie, model Olivia Arben, and Made in Chelsea star Ollie Proudlock – who was recently announced as a BHF Ambassador.
