Campaign idea: Helen saved a stranger's life
When a motorbike crashed outside Helen's home, her first aid training helped her step in and save a stranger's life.
This story
Helen heard a loud crash outside her house and found a 19-year-old motorcyclist lying in a pool of blood with a badly severed leg. While others were afraid to step forward, she grabbed thick towels from her home and applied heavy pressure to stem the catastrophic bleeding until an ambulance arrived. Doctors had to amputate the man's leg, but Helen's actions kept him alive.
