Everyone can save a life!

Kids are amazing. I've seen so many examples of how in crises kids sometimes just seem to know what to do and really for all intents and purposes save the day. Here are a few:

•  A little boy in New Jersey who saved his dad's life. After seeing his dad have a stroke the 5-year-old knew to call his mother and to help her find them he spelled out store signs to her until she figured out where they were.  To read the full story click here.
• A 6-year-old girl in  California saved her best friend by doing the Heimlich maneuver on her when her friend was choking at lunch. To read the story click here.  
• A 9-year-old boy saved a baby's life by teaching the baby's mother how to do CPR To read the story click here

As much as kids can make a big difference and save people, everyone be a hero and can save someone pretty easily. Register on your state's Organ Donor Registry!

I can't think of a better legacy!
