As a nurse in our cath lab, Mary Simpler helps save lives every day. So, it's no surprise that when she saw Rob Christenson collapse on a nearby pickleball court, she sprang into action.

While Ed Koerber, a retired respiratory therapist, started CPR, Mary raced for the court's AED. Within 19 seconds, she delivered the shock that saved Rob's life.

About 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside U.S. hospitals every year, and survival rates are under 10%. Fast action, like Ed and Mary's, can be the difference between life and death.

Watch WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore's interview with Rob, Ed, and Mary, three lives forever connected by one extraordinary moment.

A trip to the pickleball court turned into a life-or-death situation in a matter of seconds when two strangers jumped in to help when it mattered most.
