Lily James on KOMO 4 Morning News

Lily James, the Mercer Island girl who will join Pierson on the mound, is an example of the Medic One Foundation's value. For nearly four decades, the Medic One Foundation has ensured the quality of our region's pre-hospital emergency care system by funding world-class paramedic training, innovative research in new methods of patient care, and intensive medical review of paramedic performance.

In July 2009, James nearly drowned and her feet were almost severed when an inflatable on her family's boat flew off and she was caught in the tow rope. A series of surgeries have once again given Lily full-use of her feet, but paramedics including Pierson treating her on the dock of the Mercer Island Beach Club the day of the accident kept her alive.
