Sometimes it’s the seemingly little things that count the most.  In an emergency, you often turn to what’s already there.

When 16-year-old Cyrus saw his mom cut her wrist accidentally, he sprang into action.  After calling 911, he was instructed to stop the bleeding with a makeshift tourniquet.

Summoning up latent “Hulk strength,” Cyrus grabbed the laces off his new shoes.  He then wrapped them tightly near the wound.  His mom later stated that this essentially saved her life.
