- 5 years ago
A granddad who was revived on the tarmac after collapsing during a marathon returned a year later to finish the same race to completion.
Dwayne Pickens, 64, was running in the Dallas Marathon in Texas in December, 2017, when he suffered a massive heart attack at the two-mile mark.
A firefighter and a nurse running the race realized Dwayne’s heart had stopped and administered CPR until a defibrillator arrived on the scene.
The footage was captured at the end of last year at the Marathon on December 8, 2018.
