A 14 year old received a standing ovation as she was honored for saving her grandfather's life

LAUREL SPRINGS, N.J. (WPVI) -- A 14 year old received a standing ovation Monday night as she was honored by Gloucester township's mayor for saving her grandfather's life.

In May, Skylar Ruff's grandfather was choking on a piece of food and Skylar was able to perform chest compressions after the Heimlich maneuver didn't work.

By the time EMS arrived her grandfather was conscious and sitting at the kitchen table.
