A local nonprofit is doing what they can to get students the heart screenings they need in hopes of possibly saving lives.
It’s all to honor the son of Karen Schrah’s son, Zachary.
On April 2, 2009, Zachary was just 16-years-old when he died at football practice at Plano East High School. He had gone into sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed.
She decided to turn her pain into purpose. Schrah founded Living for Zachary in June 2009, just a couple of months after his death. It's a nonprofit that has impacted thousands of families and children throughout the state with heart screenings, AED donations, CPR/AED certification classes, scholarships, and awareness events.
