A cyclist who went into cardiac arrest during a charity bike ride has said he is “eternally grateful” to a team of doctors who happened to be cycling right behind him and saved his life by performing CPR.
David Graney, 63, collapsed on a climb during the London to Brighton bike ride on Sunday September 10 but fortunately a team of 30 children’s specialist medics from St George’s Hospital were cycling directly behind him.
When the specialists saw Mr Graney fall from his bike, they rushed into action and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
