Shane Condon, a new employee at a Kroger store in Burleson, Texas, saved a co-worker’s life by administering CPR on his first day on the job. Condon heard a commotion and found Ray Choate struggling to breathe. He immediately took action and continued CPR until first responders arrived. Choate spent five days in the hospital and does not remember much about the incident. Condon kept Choate’s hat as a reminder and was excited to finally meet him. Condon was honored with a life-saving award from Kroger for his heroism. He urges everyone to take a CPR class because you never know when you might need to use it. Since the incident, Condon has thought about Choate every day and is grateful for the support he has received. The two men finally met formally on Wednesday, and it was an emotional moment for both. Condon expressed humility and gratitude for the recognition but also stressed that saving a life is not something to brag about. This heartwarming story highlights the importance of knowing CPR and being prepared to act in an emergency.
