Courageous acts are made daily, but have you ever done so for your family? It may be difficult for you to think about the future for your family, especially one you may not be part of. However, rather than stressing, you need to find coverage you can rely on through thick and thin. By having financial security for your loved ones, you can look forward to a bright, happy future.

According to The Beaufort Gazette, one man was recognized on Monday for his heroic actions on the tennis court last March. Derek Lemire, 36, the Berkeley Hall fitness director, saved Richard Frankoski, 68, a tennis player who was warming up for a match.

The player doesn’t remember, but he collapsed on the court and his heart had stopped beating. However, quick acting Lemire, a Red Cross-certified cardio pulmonary resuscitation instructor, ran to the tennis court with the automated external defibrillator, or AED. He got there just in time to save Frankoski’s life.

For his heroism, Lemire was recognized at the Bluffton Town Council's meeting and awarded a certificate of merit signed by President Barack Obama, honorary chairman of the Red Cross. The certificate is the highest award given by the Red Cross for sustaining or saving a life.

"I'm pretty humbled by it," Lemire said. "There are a lot of people who do this every day who don't get credit, such as paramedics, nurses, doctors, and surgeons. I just hope (Frankoski) and his family are able to enjoy a long life. The good Lord wasn't ready for him that day."

At Kinghorn Insurance of Beaufort, we find this story truly inspirational. Not only did Lemire help a perfect stranger, but he saved his life as well. Acts of heroism don’t have to be elaborate.
