Runners honored for helping save a life

TROY -- At a ceremony in Troy on Wednesday, four Turkey Trot runners were recognized for saving the life of another runner.

Each of the four received a "Good Samaritan" award for their actions that saved the life of one of the Troy Turkey Trot's 10K participants this year. One of the women who helped, a registered nurse, said she acted on adrenaline and was glad she did.
