[KARE-TV, December 15, 2013] You can find thousands of reasons to be thankful among the crowds at the St. Paul Turkey Trot every Thanksgiving, but this year a Woodbury man says he has a lifetime of gratitude after a stranger saved his life.

Jeff Joseph, 34, and his wife Lisa Joseph were just steps into the 5K when Jeff complained of feeling dizzy and collapsed.

Bruce Kiecker, a United Hospital ICU nurse, was running the race with his wife, two kids and their family dog when his wife saw Joseph collapse. What Bruce did next saved Joseph's life.
