Teen's Life-Saving Heroism Leads To Awesome Surprise From Russell Wilson And Fathead

A young girl's courage has turned a nearly tragic situation into an inspiring feel-good story. Nineteen-year-old Seahawks fan Charlotte Heffelmire rescued her father back in November after finding him pinned under his truck in a burning garage. The truck had collapsed on top of her father, and spilled gasoline ignited to start the fire.

On an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Heffelmire told Ellen that, after saving her father and making sure everyone was out of the house, she returned inside the burning house to retrieve her prized Russell Wilson Fathead.
