“If it weren’t for Mikey and Lee, there’s a very high possibility that I wouldn’t be here now, I wouldn’t be able to watch Emily grow up, and she wouldn’t have a mummy.”

Last year, Nicola’s Christmas tradition became a Christmas nightmare when she collapsed while putting her daughter, Emily, into her car seat after visiting a Christmas lights switch on.
Nicola’s heart had gone into cardiac arrest. Critical Care Paramedics Mikey and Lee brought the hospital to her at the roadside. Without their lifesaving care, Nicola may not have survived.
Nicola said: “If it weren’t for Mikey and Lee, there’s a very high possibility that I wouldn’t be here now, I wouldn’t be able to watch Emily grow up, and she wouldn’t have a mummy."
