Alexa Massad is both a fighter and a hero. She put her own health at risk to save someone's life.
While out driving with her fiancé, Alexa saw two men standing by a car on the side of the road. One of them was having a heart attack.
Alexa had a compromised immune system from undergoing chemotherapy to treat lymphoma and needed to keep her distance from others. But she put her desire to help first.
Alexa pulled over and called 911. The dispatcher talked her through how to do CPR until emergency responders arrived. Thanks to her fast actions, the man survived.
To honor her selflessness and bravery, Alexa was awarded the Certificate of Extraordinary Personal Action by the redcrossct.
Everyone can benefit from knowing lifesaving skills. You may be the one to give a person the best chance of survival during an emergency. Take a class to learn CPR in honor of World Restart A Heart Day. 👐🏽❤️
