It’s a technique that saved the eleven-year-old’s life earlier this year when he suffered a cardiac arrest at his local swimming pool.

He was treated at GOSH where it was discovered he has a rare heart condition. He has since had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator fitted.

His parents, Sam and Mark, said of the Restart a Heart campign: “CPR saved our son’s life and we want to do whatever we can to raise awareness.

“Cade is an inspiration to us all and remains so determined, positive and full of energy following his cardiac arrest and surgery.

“We think CPR should be on the national curriculum as it is so important. You never know when you might need it and you’re never too young to learn.”
