Swircynski family members said a few months after Zach died,they learned of Zachary Schrah from Plano, TX - just a few towns away, who had also recently died from sudden cardiac arrest. Two months after Zach's death, sixteen year-old Zachary Scrah collapsed during his high school football practice, and died of sudden cardiac arrest.
Zachary Schrah's family quickly started "Living for Zachary," an initiative to save young lives from sudden cardiac arrest.
"When they heard about Living For Zachary.. They wanted to bring awareness to the Muenster community," Kim Granger, "Living for Zachary" coordinator and Zach Scrah's aunt, said.
On Tuesday, they did that by inviting medical staff from Baylor Plano Heart Hospital to give teens mobile heart screenings.
"The heart screening includes a blood pressure check... an echo-cardiogram and an electro-cardiogram," Granger said.
Zachary Swircynshi's sister Hillary said her family is grateful that they found someone who knows what they're going through.
"It's amazing. I'm so glad we found 'Living for Zachary' and we're doing this and I think it's only going to get bigger. Everything happens for a reason and we're supposed to be doing this and we're not just supposed to be accepting it. We're supposed to be getting it out there," Hillary said.
