Lio Cundiff, who is trans, told the Guardian he hopes the act shows everyone how ‘human we are – because all I did was a human act’
A Chicagoan who recently jumped into a perilously cold lake to help rescue a baby whose stroller was blown into the water by a wind gust has implored everyone in the US to “just take care of one another”.
In an interview Tuesday, Lio Cundiff, who is a trans man, said of himself: “All I did was a human act. I’m just a human who did the most human thing you could do – which is save someone who can’t save themselves.”
Cundiff made those remarks as the dramatic story about him and the rescued baby gained widespread attention across the US media.
As Chicago police told the local ABC affiliate, potent wind blew a stroller with a baby girl inside of it into Lake Michigan at the city’s Belmont Harbor on the afternoon of 18 February.
