What a wonderful weekend to be outdoors! The Travis Air Show was a success, and in addition to some great sights in the sky, our Red Cross volunteers had some fun activities on terra firma.

Air Show attendees got an opportunity to learn hands-only CPR, first aid and life-saving skills like how to help a choking victim. Volunteers were also on hand to provide info on Red Cross military services and benefits for active military, veterans, and their families. #WingsOverSolano

Local cardiologist Dr. Steven Lome saved the lives of two runners who each suffered cardiac arrests during the Monterey Bay Half Marathon in November 2022. For his heroic and lifesaving actions, he received the Red Cross Certificate of Extraordinary Personal Action in a ceremony at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula on November 10, 2023.

Dr. Lome was running the Monterey Bay Half Marathon with two of his children, both cross country runners at Carmel schools, when he saw a man collapse about 30 feet in front of him at mile three. He stopped to help the runner, Greg Gonzalez, 67, a superior court judge from Vancouver, Wash., who was unconscious, not breathing and did not have a pulse. Dr. Lome immediately began CPR while two other medical providers nearby - including a neurosurgeon - stopped to help. Their collective efforts sustained Gonzales’s life until an ambulance arrived.

After this initial incident, Dr. Lome decided to continue the race, hoping to still catch up with his two children. Before crossing the finish line, he noticed that another runner, Michael Heilemann, 56, from Marin County, Calif., was down, and people were screaming for help. Dr. Lome began CPR on Heilemann while volunteer medical providers brought an AED from the nearby Community Hospital medical tent. They all worked together to keep Heilemann alive, and a few minutes later, he regained consciousness.

Dr. Lome visited Gonzalez and Heilemann the next day at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and both were recovering well. The two patients and Dr. Lome are returning to run the Monterey Bay Half Marathon together on November 12, one year after the two cardiac arrests occurred on the course.

“The Certificate of Extraordinary Personal Action is given to individuals who step up in an emergency situation and help save or sustain a life,” said Michele Averill, CEO for the Red Cross Central Coast Chapter.

“Dr. Lome’s actions demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication. He reminds us that there are people with the vocation of saving lives. We are proud of having him as a Central Coast resident and we wish him, Greg Gonzales and Michel Heilemann the best of luck in future marathons.”

The Red Cross regularly works with our partners in the community to make sure everyone is prepared for any type of disaster. On Nov. 1, 2025, your local Red Cross joined Southwest Airlines, BWI Airport, Anne Arundel County and the FBI, at BWI Airport, for a full-scale simulation exercise of a commercial airplane crash.

Red Cross volunteers specializing in disaster mental health, health services and spiritual care worked directly with actors portraying passengers and their families in a realistic scenario designed to test response capabilities.

After the initial simulation, participants moved to a separate room for additional scenario injects – unexpected developments introduced to challenge response plans – followed by a joint debrief to review successes, identify areas for improvement and outline key action items.

Volunteers played the central role during the hands-on exercise, while disaster leadership, including Division Disaster Director Adrian Grieve, Regional Disaster Officer Noé Hatchuel and Senior Disaster Program Manager Jenny Torner, were instrumental in the debrief and shaping next steps.

After this initial incident, Dr. Lome decided to continue the race, hoping to still catch up with his two children. Before crossing the finish line, he noticed that another runner, Michael Heilemann, 56, from Marin County, Calif., was down, and people were screaming for help. Dr. Lome began CPR on Heilemann while volunteer medical providers brought an AED from the nearby Community Hospital medical tent. They all worked together to keep Heilemann alive, and a few minutes later, he regained consciousness.

Local cardiologist Dr. Steven Lome saved the lives of two runners who each suffered cardiac arrests during the Monterey Bay Half Marathon in November 2022. For his heroic and lifesaving actions, he received the Red Cross Certificate of Extraordinary Personal Action in a ceremony at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula on November 10, 2023.

Dr. Lome was running the Monterey Bay Half Marathon with two of his children, both cross country runners at Carmel schools, when he saw a man collapse about 30 feet in front of him at mile three. He stopped to help the runner, Greg Gonzalez, 67, a superior court judge from Vancouver, Wash., who was unconscious, not breathing and did not have a pulse. Dr. Lome immediately began CPR while two other medical providers nearby - including a neurosurgeon - stopped to help. Their collective efforts sustained Gonzales’s life until an ambulance arrived.

After this initial incident, Dr. Lome decided to continue the race, hoping to still catch up with his two children. Before crossing the finish line, he noticed that another runner, Michael Heilemann, 56, from Marin County, Calif., was down, and people were screaming for help. Dr. Lome began CPR on Heilemann while volunteer medical providers brought an AED from the nearby Community Hospital medical tent. They all worked together to keep Heilemann alive, and a few minutes later, he regained consciousness.
