We were extremely proud to hear RFDS staff were involved in an impromptu community effort that saved a volunteer’s life at this year’s NT City2Surf. RFDS SA/NT staff Maureen Burns, Paul Campbell and Andrew Franklin were among the participants and bystanders who stopped at the scene and came to the aid of St John NT Volunteer Chris Trotter, who was experiencing a cardiac arrest. We thank our RFDS crew for going beyond their call of duty and to all those involved in rescuing Chris, who has since gained full recovery.
The life of one of our own trainers was saved at the City2Surf event this year We hosted a Save a Life Awards ceremony to acknowledge the incredible efforts of those who performed first aid on Chris Trotter, including those from Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia SA/NT, NT Athletics, United States Marine Corps, and of course St John NT. Chris, a St John first aid trainer who has dedicated more than three decades to caring for his community, was volunteering at the event when he went into sudden cardiac arrest. "I never thought that someone I had trained in first aid would end up saving my life." Read more about these heroes here 🔗 bit.ly/3AjKHwV
