A man is appealing to find the ‘heroes’ who helped him after he suffered a one-off seizure.

Drew Hoskins-Smith, 30, was jogging home from work through Barnsole Road, Gillingham, on Tuesday, August 21, when he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

He later regained consciousness in the back of an ambulance, but had no idea how he got there.

“One minute I was jogging and the next thing I know I was on the ground with paramedics around me,” he said.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have any memory of passing out or falling, though I do have a vague memory of being asked if I knew where I was and thinking I was at work.

“When I properly came round, I was in the ambulance being told that I had suffered a seizure, which had never happened to me before.”

"I think they are heroes. They could have left me or wandered off when the ambulance was called." - Drew Hoskins-Smith

He was told that members of the public had pulled their vehicles over and called the ambulance before staying with him after his fall.

Now Drew, of Lincoln Road, Gillingham, wants to find these strangers, to say thank you.

He said: “I think they are heroes. They could have left me or wandered off when the ambulance was called.

“I’m massively grateful to them for helping me.

“When I walk home I wonder if they might introduce themselves, but unfortunately I wouldn’t recognise them to approach them myself.”

The analyst, who works on the Medway Business Park, admitted he now feels more anxious and nervous when alone over fears another seizure could strike. He added: “I was referred to the seizure clinic and was scared at the time as I didn’t know what tests might reveal.

“Now I’m anxious as nothing was revealed and I don’t know what caused it, if it was a one-off or if it might happen again.

“I had pain for a few days after, but that has passed now.”
