I haven't made this public until now, but I was given an extension on my life last Saturday by a wonderful co-worker. I was choking and having trouble breathing, and this young man stepped up and performed the Heimlich. I still ended up in the ER for over 2 hours, but I don't think I'd be sitting here typing today if not for the efforts of Alex Eckert.
My gratitude is greater than words can describe, to have someone come to my rescue, without a thought of ever getting something in return. With all of the bad we hear of in the world today, it restores my faith that there are still good people out there who care. Every day there are heroes who don't get recognized for their efforts. It seems the only people getting their "15 minutes of fame" are those shooting up schools or other manner of taking innocent lives. Thank you Alex, you are amazing!
