Keele University Paramedic Society’s 24-Hour CPR Marathon

Keele University Paramedic Society’s 24-Hour CPR Marathon

Keele University Student Paramedic Society are taking on a 24-hour CPR marathon to raise as much money as we can for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. Our initial fundraising target is £1,000, but we’re aiming to raise as much as possible for this vital cause. If we reach our first goal, we’ll keep pushing to raise even more! The event kicks off at midday on Thursday, 6th March, and runs continuously until midday on Friday, 7th March inside Keele Students’ Union downstairs.

Members of Keele Paramedic Society and other volunteers will take turns delivering uninterrupted CPR throughout the challenge. Anyone is welcome to get involved and you can volunteer using the "CPR Marathon Rota" link in our Keele Paramedic Society Instagram bio.

Additionally, Paramedic Science students will offer hands-on CPR training to university staff and students using specialist mannequins—an opportunity to learn a vital lifesaving skill.

Join us in supporting this incredible cause!
