British Heart Foundation launch Revivr with the help of Graeme Souness and Tooting and Mitcham F.C
Footballing legend, Graeme Souness, has joined forces with British Heart Foundation this Heart Month in a campaign to encourage football fans to learn CPR through RevivR – a free online training course, after being diagnosed with coronary heart disease himself in his early 30s.
Surprising Tooting and Mitcham F.C. with a pitch side CPR training session, the players got to learn first-hand how simple it is to learn CPR through RevivR.
RevivR teaches CPR in 15 minutes – just enough time to learn in a football half time break – and could help to save thousands of lives.
