Man returns to April Fool’s run after near-fatal heart attack

What has become an annual April Fools day event in Piqua had a special meaning this morning.

Last year on this date, runner Kevin Pryfogle got a new lease on life. At the end of the two-mile run, Kevin, then age 51, collapsed from a heart attack.

An automated external defibrillator was used to bring him back.

Kevin underwent a quintuple bypass surgery three days later.

Kevin started running again in July after his doctor gave him the OK.

Kevin ran in the annual event this morning. He talked to WHIO’s Steve Baker about that day and his near-death experience.
