A member of the St. George City Council is celebrating a year of life after it was nearly lost, lobbying for more people to learn the lifesaving CPR techniques that saved her.“We were in Ibigawa, Japan. I was there with our city delegation that goes once a year,” St. George City Council Member Dannielle Larkin said. “My husband and I decided that we would run the marathon. The guns went off and we started running. And about two miles in, I collapsed.”What happened next was a blank for Larkin.
Now, she’s championing efforts to get more people to learn the skill that can save a life as well as more availability of AED defibrillator units.“Because we were in Japan, they have AED units everywhere. Almost every light post that you see has an AED unit on it,” Larkin said. “I was lucky because you have to have CPR done relatively quickly after you collapse from cardiac arrest.
