Charlie Edinburgh admitted watching Denmark playmaker Christian Eriksen collapse at Euro 2020 brought back "horrific" memories, but he hopes the crucial use of a defibrillator will help push through Justin's Law.
The former Tottenham midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest during his country's opening game with Finland on Saturday and had to be resuscitated on the pitch.
Eriksen remains in hospital but provided an update on his Instagram page on Tuesday saying "I feel okay".
"From our perspective more needs to be done," Edinburgh insisted.
"We talk about people performing in their sport to the highest level or working in a gym to better their fitness levels, they are pushing their bodies to the limit and this life-saving piece of equipment needs to be there should something like what happened to my dad and Christian occur.
"It will change it from being about luck because there will be more outcomes like Christian. It won't be Justin was unlucky but Christian was lucky because of where he was. This is why we are pushing hard for this so we are saving lives and it is the ripple effect it has.
"We felt it first hand with losing dad and how tragic that was and the outpouring for him, but we want to make sure no other family has to experience what we went through."
The recent second anniversary of Edinburgh's death was marked with the launch of the JE3 Foundation website – je3foundation.com – while plans are in place for large-scale cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) workshops to be hosted across the UK later in the year.
A minimum of three defibrillators per quarter will also be donated to sports clubs and venues in memory of the former Leyton Orient boss, with a petition set up to raise awareness of Justin's Law quickly gaining signatures and being shared on social media.
Edinburgh said: "With the JE3 Foundation, we speak about access, training and campaigning, so we are trying to make the defibrillators accessible with the donations, offering training to educate people around the importance of CPR and how to use a defibrillator with confidence and campaigning for Justin's Law.
"I am really hoping Saturday's events can push it through and make the relevant authorities stand up and take notice to see more needs to be done because this can't continue to happen and people can't continue to lose their lives when there is a piece of equipment available which can help save them."
