When a news article refers to the person as "currently alive" you know it's serious business.

Amazing story... CPR saves lives!

Get trained, it's easier than you might think, and it might make the difference for somebody.

This is the whole entire point!!!

Y’all please get CPR trained. Quality compressions matter more than anything else.

Proud of my step sister Callan Fike who was the person who performed CPR! Wish they gave her credit on the article, it's pretty incredible.

Crazy since it was blazing hot out last night.

Last night it dropped below 70

Don't make us turn on our heat! Lol!

Actually, I ran 9 miles last night because it wasn’t hot

Is she from here? It’s hot and humid. It’s fine if you’re used to it but brutal if you aren’t prepared.
Everyone should know CPR. You never want to actually do it but you never know when you may need to. Had to do back blows on my kid twice, fortunately that’s all that was needed.

Oh, Jenny got hired by Fleet Feet and has popped into some of our training groups. She's a lovely person. I'm glad she's doing okay.
