At just 16 years old, Hudson Mobley saved a man's life. He was able to act quickly during an emergency thanks to the training he received as a lifeguard.

While working at a country club in Kenner, Louisiana, last year, Hudson came across a large gathering of people and sensed something was wrong. Someone had collapsed on the ground and was in cardiac arrest.

Hudson knew exactly what to do. He ask someone to call 911 and retrieve an AED while he immediately started CPR.

EMTs arrived moments later and took the man to the hospital. It was thanks to Hudson's quick action that he survived.

"I remember I sat on the curb and started crying," Hudson said. "A police officer came up to me and said, 'Hey, are you alright? You did great out there.'"

Hudson's classmates surprised him at a school pep rally to recognize his heroism. The American Red Cross of Louisiana was there to present him with the Certificate of Merit, the most prestigious Red Cross Lifesaving Award.

Hudson hopes that his story will inspire others to learn lifesaving skills. We're so proud of him! 🫶🏼
