Donna Ferjani and Fiona Hale
Local Hero sponsored by Green Park
Someone who, through a special act of kindness or bravery, has made a positive difference to their community.
Kind motorists Donna Ferjani and Fiona Hale who stopped when they saw a cyclist in distress may well have saved him from dying.
Reading FC fan Peter Carey had suffered a cardiac arrest. The pair, who did not know each other, took turns performing CPR.
Former Reading West MP Alok Sharma also stopped and kept the 999 emergency operator informed, passing on the operator's advice to the pair. He praised their actions at the awards ceremony.
Their “selfless actions” kept Peter alive until the ambulance arrived. The quick-thinking women were found through social media and were reunited with Peter at a Reading FC match.
