Survivors and responders honored

News Brian Gwyn’s heart stopped one morning in March 2012. On Thursday, he met one of the responders who saved his life. “Thank you,” he said quietly from his wheelchair, wiping tears away. Sudden cardiac arrest strikes almost 300,000 people nationwide every year, according to the American Heart Association. Nearly nine in 10 die before reaching the hospital. An event Thursday at the Lincoln Center, organized by Spokane Heart Rescue, recognized the unlikely stories of survival and raised awareness of the CPR techniques that keep people alive.
