In this inspiring episode of Stories from the Heart, we sit down with Mildura teacher Graeme Tulloch, who turned a near-death experience into a mission to save lives.
During a routine bike ride, Graeme experienced a sudden cardiac arrest. Thanks to the quick actions of community members who performed CPR, his life was saved. He shares the harrowing details of that day, the medical response that followed, and how the experience reshaped his outlook forever.
We also talk to one of Graeme's rescuers, Seher Ozonal, whose early intervention not only helped to save Graeme's life but created a lifelong bond.Â
Out of this life-changing event came Hands on Heart Australia, an organisation Graeme founded to train and empower locals in CPR. His story is a reminder of the critical role everyday people can play in emergencies—and the emotional impact of surviving against the odds.
