Charlotte Pickwick
On Boxing Day 2017, my world came crashing down when I suffered a cardiac arrest. My incredible engineer husband performed 8 minutes of CPR on me, this was the week of my 41st birthday, and I had no previous cardiac history.
Although I am an NHS Nurse Manager of 23 years and have been involved in many cardiac arrest situations, I was suddenly the patient and left in a state of hopelessness and feeling very alone. Following a Facebook search some three months after discharge, I found SCA UK, which suddenly made me feel I was no longer alone. Through them, my husband and I had the most incredible support from people who simply got how we felt.
It has been an incredible honour to return the favour and support other people at various stages of their journey, and I am incredibly proud to become a trustee of this charity.
