Peterborough charity launches new paediatric CPR training sessions as founder pledges to run Manchester Marathon with mannequin on his back
Peterborough charity Tiny Heartbeat Heroes have launched their latest paediatric CPR and choking response training sessions later this month.
The charity has already trained over 100 people in Paediatric CPR and choking response to equip them with the skills required if they face a situation in which a child stops breathing.
All of the training so far has been delivered for free by Lead Trainer Emma Greaves of East of England Ambulance Service and her team of paramedics as well as medical professionals from the Magpas Air Ambulance AJ’s Gym at Enterprise Park in Yaxley.
The latest training session it taking place at Aj’s Gym at Enterprise Way in Yaxley on Sunday, May 31. All of the sessions are completely free to attend.

The charity was created by two local parents in November 2025 after they had been through the ordeal of discovered their seven month old son not breathing in the early hours of the morning.
Fortunately, both were trained in exactly what do and were able to help Leo to breathe again before paramedics arrived to take over his care.
Leo has since made a full recovery and is living a happy life.
Leo’s father- who runs AJ’s Gym in Yaxley has pledged to run the 2027 Manchester Marathon while carrying on the charity’s baby CPR mannequins.
He said: “This is going to suck but it won’t suck as much as that night so bring it on.
"Now we help others so they know what to do should it happen to them. I’m doing this to raise awareness and help more people learn life-saving baby CPR through Tiny Heartbeat Heroes.”
