Stories that tug at your heart-both want you to save a life today.

It's not easy to talk about people dying, but bottom line, it's life and learning to go on and knowing it's purpose is what is the most important thing.

We have been writing on Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and Heart Screening in Youth, Heart defects and knowing the difference between Heart Attacks and Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) for about a year now. We have celebrated Zachary Schrah's life, we have enjoyed the gifts that he brought to us, and we have moved forward with the Living for Zachary Foundation and it all has been rewarding however- it's OK sometimes to change gears for just a moment.

The heartbeat is such a power thing. Seeing the story of Taylor Storch this week has brought something else to the forefront as well. Not only is it important to have your child's heart screened, it's important to share the gift of life if you must. Hearing the heartbeat of your child in another person's body must be the most powerful thing, having your child's heart beat for the last time and moment has got to be the most hurtful thing a parent can go through.

For the Storch family and for Karen Schrah - the common denominator is that both families lost a beloved child and something good has to come from it - so foundations/organizations were formed to bring awareness to their causes.

For organ donation you can visit Taylor Storch's website; Taylor's Gift Foundation, you can read more about Taylor and learn about how to become a organ donor.

For upcoming events like our HeartBeats Gala; visit the Living for Zachary website. Taylor saved 5 lives and Living for Zachary will continue to try and save life's by asking parent's to listen to your heart in a different way and get your child's heart screened.

Two families with a common loss wanting to save lives ...be a Hero today and save a life-be an organ donor and have your heart screened. Both will make a difference.
