Jillian never expected to use her first aid training at 5:23am on a quiet morning in Bulls. But when her husband Matt collapsed and stopped breathing, everything she’d learned with MediTrain came straight back.
She called 111. She started CPR. She kept going until help arrived, and Matt survived.
We were so impressed by Jillian’s courage and quick action, and by the volunteer team who helped save Matt, that we presented her with a MediTrain First Responder Award. 💝
Jillian’s story is a powerful reminder that most cardiac arrests happen at home — and the person you save is often someone you love.
First aid isn’t just for work. It can save a life.
