BACKGROUND:

Background

Deltona resident, Chris Riha, who lives in District 3, saved a woman’s life in Lake Mary and was honored by the Red Cross as a HERO in May. She was coaching when the lady collapsed. Chris was able to administer CPR and when the lady’s heart stopped, she administered the AED machine to shock her back to life. All this before the EMT’s arrived. The medics believe since the blockage was in the widow maker valve, she could have died.
