Sam Nicholson
After volunteering at the recent Northbrook 10k, Sam was cheering the finishers in when she spotted a red/white runner had gone down, about 200 meters from the finish line. She went to see if she could help and found Joy had collapsed with the heat. She an a Northbrook marshal helped to get Joy across the line, and to the medical tent.
