After Being Dead for 19 Minutes – Our Goal Is To Now Make Sure You Aren’t!

Ian Hutchinson regarded himself as a fit and healthy 50 something. Apart from being a three time Ironman, he walked the dog each morning and went on bike rides or to the gym most days. He’d never smoked and rarely drank alcohol.

In September 2018, while bike riding with longtime mate Donald MacKee, he became one of the lucky only 9% to survive an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest.

Following his recovery, Ian and Don founded CPRfriendly.org in memory of, and on behalf of, the 91% less fortunate that don’t survive. To help turn those statistics around, they are, through CPRfriendly.org, on a quest to get everyone CPR friendly and have more access to public defibrillators.
