Results:
52 million impressions overall. 
A North American record for mass CPR training, just shy of the Guinness book of records. 9919 people enlisted. 5,020 people were safely trained at the main event.  

An Award Winning PSA that literally helped save lives!! 

CBC personality "Strombo" George Stroumboulopoulos called it the 
“Best. PSA. Ever!”.

Named as one of the Best Canadian Commercials by HuffingtonPost
The spot was also picked up by Kotaku, Mashable, AdAge and Fast Company. 
Our survivor is being chased by a horde of walkers, when suddenly she drops dead from a heart attack until some zombies revive her using CPR training.


All this 'viral' attention helped drive people to sign up for the world’s largest CPR training session at Canada’s Wonderland on Oct. 25.  

Can you get to safe zone?
More than 5,000 people showed up to Wonderland (the safe zone) to attend the record-breaking CPR training session. That one night is the equivalent of three years worth of people we would train normally in Ontario. (Heart & Stroke Foundation)
