Registration to be part of a World Record Attempt are now open.

Behind every statistic is a person: a parent, a friend, a stranger on the street. In the UK, someone dies from cardiac arrest outside of hospital every three minutes. But you can change that outcome. CPR delivered within two minutes increases survival by 81%, and this September, Central London Alliance is looking for 4,000 people to step forward, learn this life-saving skill and be part of the largest CPR Relay ever.

Your training is completely free, and your place in history is just a click away. Taking place on 22 - 23 September, sign up now and be part of something that truly matters.
