San Antonio Teen to Run Half-Marathon in Life Jacket to Promote Safety, Save Lives

Saved by the Jacket

An unexpected gust of wind flipped their catamaran, throwing them into the water. For more than an hour, Briar fought to stay afloat, saved by a single decision she almost didn’t make.

“I almost didn’t put on my life jacket,” said Briar. “It was beautiful; water was clear, so I didn’t think I needed one. But there was just something that told me I should wear my life jacket today. My life jacket is what saved my life when the boat flipped.“
