Steve Wrigley was flying home when he had a heart attack on the plane. He was fit and healthy, he loved adventure holidays that revolved around cycling. 

He went with friends he’d met on previous adventures on a trip to Bali. Steve shares his story of amazing luck as he survived two accidents on his bike. Then the third event when he was on his way home. He had a cardiac arrest caused by a heart attack while 30,000 feet up in the sky.

 Steve describes waking up in Singapore, not remembering anything other than plugging his phone when he first got on the plane.

 He tells me about his ‘heroes’ how his friends, the flight crew and pilot saved his life but he did forget to tell me about his broken ribs due to receiving lifesaving CPR.

His story starts and ends with chocolate, and he shares with us his recommended book and his tips for recovery, and his life now.
