Jesus is Better: A Father's Grief and a Coach's Unshakable Hope.

from The Balanced Athlete Car Convos; About Purpose, Balance and Play! · host jessieblujean

In this episode, I’m joined by Mustang football coach Jason Doran for a powerful conversation about unimaginable loss, lasting impact, and lifesaving awareness. After his son Zach suffered a heart attack while training at a mixed martial arts gym that did not have an AED on site, Jason made it his mission to make sure other families don’t have to face the same tragedy. We talk about Zach’s life, the legacy he leaves behind, and why Jason is now using his voice to advocate for AEDs in public places. This is a heartfelt conversation about grief, purpose, and turning pain into action that could save lives.   His Last Breath Video We Held His Hand Video A way to donate to FCA for n Honor of Zach Doran. 1.
