Reluctant hero!
Is it just me or does everyone think it sometimes is possible to do extra ordinary things?
You might have heard of the pride of Australia medal in the Courier Mail…more than one thousand two hundred entries were received, the finalists have been announced and one of them is 11-year-old Angus Campbell from Peregian Beach.
In February this year, Angus brought his father Warren back to life after he suffered a severe asthma attack at home.
I was talking to Warren yesterday, he has very severe asthma, and on this particular day he said he collapsed and went into complete respiratory arrest. He says Angus didn’t muck around.
He rang triple 0 straight away and on their instruction, managed to not only resuscitate his dad, but for 10 whole terrible minutes, Angus took directions and gave Warren mouth-to-mouth until help arrived. Warren says he’s very grateful for what Angus did…he wouldn’t be here otherwise.
Warren nominated Angus for the Pride of Australia Medal in the category of Young Aussie, which will be awarded to someone under 18 who has demonstrated outstanding resolve, mature judgment and moral character beyond their years.
The winner will be announced in Brisbane this Friday…but Warren says Angus is over the accolades…not even that keen on going to the awards in Brissy…turns out not everyone is a big show off like me!
But I think you’re a hero Angus, and your dad is very very proud of you.
