Source: Could I have saved my parents’ lives if I’d been taught CPR? – BBC News
Cameron McGerr should have been with his parents to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary last month.
Instead, Lynne and Kevin McGerr’s 16-year-old son stood in front of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament and revealed he had lost both to heart conditions.
He believes he might have been able to help at least one of his parents in their moment of crisis if he had been taught life-saving CPR skills at a younger age.
Having already persuaded his school in Inverclyde to introduce the first aid training, he now wants to see it introduced to schools across Scotland.
Cameron’s dad Kevin died from a cardiac arrest in February this year. It came three years after Lynne suffered a fatal heart attack.
The couple had been married since 30 September 1995.
