Thirteen-year-old awarded medal for bravery

Thirteen-year-old Petra Škrabalová from Brno has been awarded a medal for bravery for jumping into a lake to help save a drowning man. Petra was walking past the lake with a friend when she saw the incident and without a second thought plunged into the water to help the man get back to the shore. An emergency crew which arrived on the spot ten minutes later said she’d saved the man’s life. Every year people write in to a special Children’s Fund to report to report acts of bravery by children of all ages and the most remarkable are awarded medals at a special ceremony.
