He ran with all his heart. One year after his heart stopped, Const. Andrew Rosbrook began a run from Ottawa to Toronto to raise awareness of the need for publicly accessible defibrillators. The Toronto police officer was near the finish line of Toronto’s annual spring half-marathon when he suffered a cardiac arrest May 5, 2013. The scream of a fellow runner brought over Det. Laurie McCann and an offduty physician. A paramedic and a paramedic-in-training soon joined the efforts to revive the 48-year-old. Two paramedics with a

defibrillator then arrived by bike and administered a shock that re-started Rosbrook’s heart, saving his life. He awoke at St. Michael’s Hospital five hours later. “By that point they had put a stent in the one artery
that had become blocked and opened that up. I was actually feeling pretty decent,” Rosbrook said. “And then I hear the story of how I owe my life to some fantastic citizens and a Mikey defibrillator.” Rosbrook was running a month after his cardiac arrest and returned to work in three months. On May 5, Rosbrook began his 470-kilometre New Life Marathon from the police memorial on Parliament Hill. He completed it one week later (Monday, May 12) at the Ontario Place location of the finish line of the race that nearly ended his life last year. The run raised money for the Mikey Network and raised awareness of the importance of public access defibrillators.
