Kip Knowles, 58, has reunited with the three school staff members who saved his life last year, after he collapsed in cardiac arrest while cycling alone on the South Downs. PE teacher Stacey Charman, cookery teacher Chellie Messenger and school nurse Claire Agnew performed CPR for around 25 minutes and used a defibrillator to restart his heart. The women were honoured by St John Ambulance’s Lifesavers at Work Awards for their lifesaving actions, Sussex World reported. The charity launched the initiative to recognise inspirational lifesavers in workplaces across the UK.
