Beginning CPR and having quick access to an AED can save lives. Karen Schrah knows this firsthand, and her nonprofit is making sure others do too.

In 2009, her son, Zachary, was at football practice at Plano East Senior High when he collapsed on the field from sudden cardiac arrest.

Not only has the nonprofit donated more than 500 AEDs to youth-based organizations and schools, but they've also partnered with Baylor Scott & White's Heart Hospital in Plano to provide free heart screenings for youth ages 12 to 22.
