Nurses saved my life 4 times on runby Bradley Jolly Rescue: Alison Lyons TWO off-duty nurses raced to save the life of a mother-of-two whose heart stopped four times while training for a half-marathon. Heather Jones, 36, and Tracy Shenton, 43, were in the running club Stoke F.I.T. when fellow jogger Alison Lyons col- lapsed. The pair had to use CPR to resuscitate the un- conscious 49-year-old four times while they waited for paramedics in Stoke-on-Trent. Speaking yesterday from her bedside at Royal Stoke University Hospital, Ms Lyons said: I am just so grate- ful that they knew exactly what to do. I wont be put off going back to running in the future. Ms Jones, a midwife, added: If she had been on her own I think the outcome would have been very different.
