Charity Game After Football Coach Suffered Cardiac Arrest
Written by HFM News on 8th March 2024
A youth football coach who suffered a cardiac arrest mid-game will be playing in a charity match at Harborough Town tomorrow.
Ed Cooper’s life was saved by those who performed CPR and used a defibrillator to re-start his heart when he stopped breathing and collapsed during a six-a-side game at the club in 2022.
The 22-year-old under-13s Academy Coach will be joined on the pitch by others who were playing in that match to raise funds for for CRY – Cardiac Risk in The Young.
Already over £2,000 has been raised in sponsorship and Ed’s brother Fred spoke to HFM ahead of the game which will kick-off at 3pm:
