prevented his cardiac arrest and has hit out at criminals who steal and vandalise life-saving equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam Russell was playing as hockey captain for Finchfield Hockey Club at the Doug Ellis Sports Centre in Perry Barr, Birmingham, in February 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His teammates noticed the 26-year-old standing motionless on the pitch before he collapsed, going into sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the players gave him CPR, others ran to get a defibrillator from the sports centre reception, but no one was available to give them access to the life-saving device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\"

shock from the defibrillator and three more once the ambulance service arrived to stabilise his heart on the way to Midlands Metropolitan Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam is now raising money to install more fixed location defibrillators, an appeal he launched while still recovering in hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cI don\u2019t remember much from those couple days after, and I don\u2019t remember setting up a GoFundMe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut a reason I wanted to do it is to get more fixed location defibrillators so if people are in the same situation as me, it\u2019s far more accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam set up his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/defibrillators-save-lives-donate-now\">GoFundMe<\/a>&nbsp;page with a goal to raise \u00a32,400 to cover the cost of two automated external defibrillators (AEDs), but he raised over \u00a34,000 in just one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three months later, he has received over \u00a38000 in donations to buy and install ten fixed-location defibrillators at local leisure centres, sports facilities and on remote running tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/londonhearts.org\/\">London Hearts<\/a>, the leading defibrillator charity in the UK, reached out to help Sam buy and distribute the defibrillators in his local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six fixed-location AEDs will be installed at The Royal School Wolverhampton, Aldersley Leisure Village and Aston University Recreation, and Kingswinford Hockey Club will receive a portable AED.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Sam&#8217;s team will also be given two portable AEDs to take with them to away games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\"

request<\/a>&nbsp;revealed 124 defibrillators had been vandalised or stolen in England in the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam said: \u201cIt makes me feel sick that we fundraise for defibrillators and know that people target them within 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you value your life as much mine why would you want to do something that could take away the chance to save your own life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before his incident, Sam had never had a heart screening, but in the days following his sudden cardiac arrest, he endured numerous heart tests,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diagnostics\/16947-echocardiogram\">echocardiograms<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diagnostics\/4977-angiography\">angiograms<\/a>, and an MRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results he received in April explained that his incident was a result of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhf.org.uk\/informationsupport\/conditions\/myocarditis\">myocarditis<\/a>, an inflammation in the heart caused by a viral infection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam recalled that he had a flu-like symptoms three weeks before his cardiac arrest, but carried on with his daily activities, including long runs and intense hockey training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn hindsight, I wouldn\u2019t have done that if it was going to cause so many problems,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen the consultant told me the results it was a lot of weight off my shoulders because there was no longer a question mark over what caused it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheffield.ac.uk\/smph\/people\/academic\/clinical-medicine\/william-parker\">Dr William Parker<\/a>, a NIH Clinical Lecturer in Cardiology, explained that SCAs are more common in young athletes because intense exercise and adrenaline can worsen undiagnosed conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cIf you\u2019ve got an underlying condition particularly in high profile and high stress settings can worsen it or lead to heart problems that cause cardiac arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defibrillators will have a sticker explaining Sam\u2019s story and how the devices were funded to raise awareness, and thank those who have donated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as defibrillators, Sam
