Shepherdstown, WV March 24, 2021—The American Red Cross Greater Shenandoah Valley will be honoring four local heroes on Thursday for their lifesaving heroism after they joined together to save a life at the Shepherd University Wellness Center in September 2020. Andria Leach, Zach Pfaltzgraff, Isabella Tuzzio and Matthew Taylor were nominated by Shepherd University and are being honored with American Red Cross National Lifesaving Awards. 

In these trying times, often there are moments of darkness, but there are also countless moments of light — this is one such moment. The gestures of compassion and connection of the four honorees are examples of how to live and make a difference.
