Why We Run
On February 21, 2014, Tracy Crosson’s heart stopped beating. She had been struck by SCAD
(Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection), a condition that can affect anybody but especially seems to target mothers during or just after pregnancy. At the time, Tracy and her husband had a baby girl barely three months old and three young boys, the oldest of whom was two days away from turning 12. More than anything else, Tracy was a mother who lived for her family, but for well over an hour her heart – deprived of oxygen by the ruptured coronary artery – refused to beat on its own.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of the first responders, the emergency room staff at Kennestone Hospital, and the interventional cardiology team at Wellstar, Tracy beat the long odds – only 4.6% of people who suffer cardiac arrest survive – and made an astounding and complete recovery.
In Tracy’s honor, to raise awareness of this deadly condition, and to help those fighting her same fight for their own lives and for their own families, Piedmont Injury Law created the Great Ambulance Chase 5K, run annually on (or near) the anniversary of Tracy’s miraculous escape.
