While watching the Feb. 17 Ome race Furuya saw an elderly man who collapsed along the side of the course. When she came nearer to him she saw that he had been one of her teachers in junior high school. Repeatedly calling him „teacher,“ Furuya performed CPR. Race officials Takao Murakami, 70, and Toru Hara, 64, rushed to assist Furuya with the aid of an AED. A third official, Masao Yamaguchi, 82, organized emergency transportation.
The stricken man was taken to a hospital where he recovered and was discharged on Mar. 5.
Via telephone he told Furuya, „I received the gift of life, and I will spend it all with my wife.“
