Riverdale Raiders linebacker Zach Polsenberg passed away earlier this year after suffering a heat stroke during high school football practice. His core body temperature was 107 degrees and he went into a coma. He fought liver and kidney failure for 11 days before passing away. His family has since started the Zach Polsenberg's Heat Severity Charity to raise awareness about heat stroke, and will be holding their Inaugural Fundraiser on December 3.
We’re joined by the Charity’s Executive Director, Claudine Polsenberg, and Dr. Brian Schultz from the Pediatric Emergency Department at Golisano Children’s Hospital to learn more about heat related illnesses, and the charity’s mission going forward.
