Blog #25 First Aid and how to save a life

Saving a life can be the most rewarding and gratifying act that you may ever perform. During our class this week, you will learn about First Aid for CPR, Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation and the Heimlich Maneuver. Your task this week is to find a Good Samaritan story about someone that saved a persons life. This story should be recent and should be in either a news story, video, or online account.  Post the story information to our site along with the proper URL and make sure you comment on at least one of your peer's work.  Remember also that you have your Cadence Calling/Marching Performance Final coming up on the 8th of June.  Make sure you are practicing and getting ready for that. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your stories and hearing your cadences.  Here is my video about a Good Samaritan:
