Ten years ago today, Zach Gabbard was in his junior year at Perham High School when he went into sudden cardiac arrest on the basketball court. He was given CPR by a fan from the stands for over 30 minutes. The doctors gave him a 3% chance to live, many didn't think he would make it.
Today, Zach is a paraprofessional at S.G. Reinertsen Elementary. He is a remarkable human being who has persevered through so much since that time. Staff lined the halls of the school (socially distanced of course) in matching T-shirts to celebrate his continued triumph over tragedy.
Zach was in shock, but not surprised to see the support from his team members along with his mom and sister greeting him at the end of the hallway. He loves working at SGR and we couldn’t be more proud to have him on our team! #GoSpuds
