Tracy Wilson lived through every mother's worst nightmare when her son Terrell died sudddenly of an undetected aortic dissection of the heart.  In the midst of her pain, Tracy did something incredible; and, she transformed her pain into a purpose by building the Terrell Wilson Total Sports Fitness Foundation Inc in 2007.
Tracy gives Community Connections an exclusive interview about her journey and the upcoming events for the foundation.
Today, the Terrell Wilson Total Sports Fitness Foundation is leading the charge to become the leading entity to the community to provide the essential tools needed to be healthy and physically fit.  Their vision is to have a central location in place where each child can receive the proper heart screenings and physicals done by an on site cardiologist and sports medicine physician.
