In 1999, Kevin Stephan of Lancaster, New York, was a batboy for his younger brother\u2019s Little League baseball team. During one game, a player who was warming up accidentally hit Kevin in the chest with a bat. Kevin fell to the ground, unconscious. His heart stopped beating.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I remember is that, all of a sudden, I got hit in the chest with something, and I turned around and passed out,\u201d Kevin says. Penny Brown, a nurse whose son played on the team, was able to revive Kevin.<\/p>\n
Seven years later, Penny Brown was eating at the Hillview Restaurant in Depew, New York, when she began to choke on her food. \u201cThe food wasn\u2019t going anywhere, and I totally couldn\u2019t breathe,\u201d said Penny. \u201cIt was very frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Patrons screamed for help. One of the restaurant employees\u2014a volunteer firefighter\u2014ran out from the back. He wrapped his arms around the victim, applied the Heimlich maneuver, and saved the woman\u2019s life. The firefighter was Kevin Stephan, the boy whom Penny had saved seven years earlier.<\/p>\n
