26:05 Alexie, Vicki and Lauren, Run For Your Life 5k

Three nurses stop by the pod to tell us about their incredible story of Alexie and Lauren saving Vicki’s life with CPR and about the upcoming 5K they’ve organized. They’re all nurses who were at the right place at the right time and they’re using Vicki’s story to encourage anyone and everyone to learn CPR. The Run for Your Life 5K is happening at Snyder YMCA on Water Street in Kittaning on Sat October 28, 2023. The proceeds from the race will go towards paying for bystander CPR training.  Without this lifesaving technique, these two individuals would not be with us today.  Join them in honoring their wish to encourage the public in learning CPR. Kittanning Run for Your Life 5K. and Run for Your Life 5K on Facebook.
