Homecoming Parade

Talented Cheerleaders

They Came To Watch
YouTube, KETK NBCNicole Hornback was with her two young children, Clark and Warren, that day to see the parade.
An Emergency
UnsplashThey were all having a great time until her two-year-old son, Clark, began choking on a piece of candy. Nicole said, “He was just physically just choking, just gagging and just gasping for air.”
Tyra Went To Help
UnsplashNicole was extremely worried and rattled, and Tyra saw what happened so she immediately jumped off the float, raced toward Clark, and started performing the Heimlich maneuver on him.
He’s Fine
YouTube, KETK NBCThe candy had come out from Clark’s throat, and the air began rushing back into his lungs, so Tyra handed him back to his mom and ran back to her float to continue with her routine.
It Happened So Fast
UnsplashNicole was extremely grateful to the cheerleader who saved her son’s life, but things happened so fast that she didn’t even have the chance to ask the girl’s name so she later posted on Facebook and someone who worked at the school saw this post, and connected Nicole with Tyra.
Meeting His Hero
YouTube, KETK NBCSoon enough, Tyra, Nicole, and her kids met in person. Tyra and Nicole hugged, while Clark and Tyra high-fived, as the boy was a little shy meeting his real-life hero.
