Wairarapa Times-Age
Every week on average, four people suffer a cardiac arrest somewhere in the Wellington and Wairarapa regions.
Masterton couple Steve and Diane Allen know only too well, how crucial early intervention is to save a life.
Diane remembers the day when Steve went into cardiac arrest three years ago.
It happened on a routine morning – there were no warning signs.
