Kim Ruether's son stopped breathing and collapsed while playing volleyball in his high school’s gym.

An autopsy found it was due to cardiac arrest.

She later discovered the device that could have saved his life sat unused beside him during what would be his final moments.

Ruether has become a staunch advocate for dispatchers around the world to learn how to walk callers through how to use defibrillators.

She is to be recognized for her work during a ceremony in Edmonton in October .
