Help figuring out why I can't bind a Helm command to space

I have been reading http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-
intro.html#orgheadline21. I have been trying the shortcuts suggested,
which is

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c h") 'helm-command-prefix)
    (global-unset-key (kbd "C-x c"))

I had the `helm-all-mark-rings` set to something (I forget what
because I have been trying get it to work). I have `(global-set-key
(kbd "C-h SPC") 'helm-all-mark-rings)` in my init. Saving and doing
`C-M-x` then `C-c h spc`, the key works and shows in whichkey. If i
restart emacs, the binding does not work. I have tried `spc`, `space`,
`<spc>`, and `<space>` in upper and lower case. I tried to bind
backtick instead of space, again works with the initial eval, but dies
on restart.

I think that should be

```
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c h SPC") 'helm-all-mark-rings)
```
 perhaps?

Was tested prior tov posting. Works after `M-C-x`, but not after
restart.
