Mike Borreggine: 2011 First Aid Hero

In 14 years as a volunteer firefighter, Mike Borreggine never had to help someone who was choking, but in his first year as head custodian at Quatama Elementary School, he did it twice. When fourth grader Alberto Felix got a piece of pancake stuck in his windpipe, Mike calmly performed abdominal thrusts. And when second-grader Shawn Jett couldn't swallow a chicken nugget, Mike asked Shawn to nod if he was choking and, when he did, Mike jumped into action again. With accolades from the school board and a drawer full of thank-you notes, Mike remains unflappable, although inspired. Said Borreggine, "It makes you realize the difference that you do make."
