Just three weeks after Lisa Fulk received lifesaving training from the Red Cross, she applied what she learned and saved her colleague's life. “I heard her gasping for breath just outside of my office," Lisa said. Lisa is a news director at WXII12News. While at work one day, a coworker and friend began choking on a small candy. Lisa knew she had to act fast. “I never thought I would ever have to use the skills taught in that 3-hour course,” Lisa said. She gave her colleague multiple back blows and was able to dislodge the candy from her throat. Thanks to Lisa's training and quick action, her coworker is alive today and grateful that she knew what to do. The American Red Cross of North Carolina presented Lisa with a Certificate of Merit to honor her heroism. After witnessing what happened that day, more WXII newsroom employees are now inspired to get trained in the coming months. 👏🏽👏🏽 #LifesavingAward #LifesavingSkills #FirstAid
