Managing Director of Iceland, Richard Walker, will be featuring on the show talking about how our volunteers saved his life after collapsing with heatstroke at the London Marathon.

. St John Ambulance England saved my life yesterday.

I collapsed unconscious just over a mile from the TCS London Marathon finish line with a temp of 42.

The medics were just incredible. Absolute heroes who I can’t thank enough 🙏🏻❤️

Well done to all the runners and thank you to all of our volunteers that supported the #LondonMarathon yesterday 💚

Were ready to cheer the runners on at mile 9 of the #LondonMarathon 🎉

Will George be able to beat a world record while running the #LondonMarathon for St John on Sunday? 🏃

If he solves over 420 Rubik's cubes while running the course, he’ll have beaten the previous record - all while raising money for us.

Ask us what our volunteers did this weekend…

The first weekend of April was certainly a busy one, with the London Landmarks Half Marathon, Brighton Marathon and fundraising events for the upcoming London Marathon in just under two weeks time.

What did you do at the weekend? 👇

Come and learn street first aid at Saddlers Shopping Centre, Walsall this Thursday 28th March.

Our Young Responders team will be doing first aid demonstrations from 10am-2pm, and talking about how our Young Responders programme is supporting young people in your community 🙌

What's the most creative first aid scenario you've heard a child come up with? Can anyone beat run down by a rhinoceros? 🦏

Huge congratulations to Malachi, Niamh, Hannah, Finn, Basmala, Jennah, Emily, Mollie, Isobel, and Molly, our National and Regional Cadets of the Year 💚
