Greg Page is possibly best known as The Wiggle who had a cardiac arrest on stage – and survived.  At the end of a performance by the group in January 2020 - raising funds for bushfire relief - one of his arteries blocked 100% and caused a sudden cardiac arrest.  If not for the quick thinking and life saving skills of bystanders, chances are Greg would have died. His life was saved because of CPR and an AED at Castle Hill RSL Club that was brought to the stage, and used to revert his heart to a normal rhythm in time for paramedics to arrive and stabilise him until he received lifesaving surgery.

Upon waking up in recovery, Greg was told that his chances of surviving that type of cardiac arrest were only 1 in 10.  That means he had a 90% of not making it that night.  This rocked Greg.  The fact that 90% of people who have a sudden cardiac arrest out of hospital do not survive, was a hard hitting stat that he couldn’t ignore. 

And so, now on a mission, Greg’s purpose is to educate others about the importance of knowing CPR, and making AED’s more VISIBLE, ACCESSIBLE AND ACTIONABLE in our communities.
