Heartfelt thanks to all connected to AFC Bournemouth 🍒 🍒 @lutontown 🎩 for helping us raise awareness of #CPR this week and fundraising for British Heart Foundation’s lifesaving research in honour of #TomLockyer .

Tonight, AFC Bournemouth 🍒 will host Luton Town FC for the game that was rescheduled following their captain, Tom Lockyer’s cardiac arrest.
