How It All Started

On April 2, 2009, Zac’s high school football career and his short life came to an abrupt end; the seemingly healthy 16-year-old collapsed from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) during football practice. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THERE WERE NO SIGNS. The Schrah family later learned Zac died from a congenital heart disease called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), a common cause of SCA in young people, including young athletes. HCM is a condition in which the heart muscle becomes thick, making it difficult for blood to leave the heart and forcing the heart to work harder to pump blood. It also can make it harder for the heart to relax and fill with blood.
