Breast milk helps lost runner survive

Breast milk, dirt and the thought of being reunited with her family helped a New Zealand woman survive being lost in rugged wilderness.

Susan O’Brien, 29, of Johnsonville, had been missing for exactly 24 hours after she was due to end a race through the Rimutaka Forest Park.

She had taken a wrong turn near the end of the 20km run in a forest south of Wellington and became disorientated.
