Bay Area teen survives cardiac arrest, now advocating for heart health

A Bay Area teen who recently survived cardiac arrest at just 13 years old spoke at the Heart Ball this weekend in Sacramento where she helped raise $250,000 for the American Heart Association. Heather Freligh and the friends who helped save her life back in September were also recognized by the 911 for Kids Foundation. KTVU's Heather Holmes is joined in studio by Heather and her dad Derek as well as her friend McKenna Adamo, one of the young women who jumped into action to help her when she collapsed at school, for more on their advocacy plans moving forward.
