🏃♀️💙 Hero on the Run 💙🏃♀️ While racing the Berlin Marathon on September 21, Intermountain caregiver Sam Hall, RN, paused her own race to save a fellow runner’s life. At mile 15, Sam saw a runner collapse. Without hesitation, she jumped into action—checking for a pulse, calling for help, and performing CPR until medics arrived. “I kept thinking, ‘How do I leave this man?’” Sam said. She finished the race far behind her goal time, but with a heart full of relief after learning he survived. Sam’s also chasing another goal: becoming a “six-star finisher” by completing all six World Major Marathons. Berlin was her fourth—next up, Tokyo and London! Her message? Stay current on CPR training. You never know when you’ll need it.
