Running for a reason
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – 'I had a seven-month-old baby, I was working at Motley Rice here in Mt. Pleasant and I received a call from a doctor at MUSC and they said come down now,' said Sara Couch. In 2021 at 34 years old, Couch was told she had stage three cervical cancer. 'It was very scary, I was in a little room and the doctor came in and seven residents came in and I was like, this is not a good sign.' At the time, the doctors were worried it may be stage four cancer, which is a terminal diagnosis. Luckily for Couch it hadn't spread that far and she is now in remission Sara began running after she finished treatment. 'It was just recommended as a good way to help reduce occurrence and mortality risks to get your strength back, your immune system.' On Monday she will run in the Boston Marathon as part of the Dana-Farber team. After her initial diagnosis, Sara received a second opinion from the cancer institute in Boston. Dana-Farber also funded an immuno-therapy drug that was helpful to Couch as well. 'Every time I run I just feel such immense gratitude to even have the ability to be that healthy because when I finished treatment I was in a wheelchair. I started walking five minutes, then I would walk ten minutes.' Being able to combine something she's so appreciative for, with now being able to help others is very personal for Sara. 'I was gifted so much, right, I was gifted family that helped, an employer that helped, amazing amazing medical care from a lot of doctors and a lot of institutions that came together and that's why I'm here.' Couch said. 'And it took everyone, so if I can give back just a little bit to someone else to have that chance with their daughter, that's what I want to do.' From barely being able to walk for five minutes, Couch is now gearing up to run 26 miles. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Toronto Crash Landing Prompts Lawsuit Against Delta, Endeavor
Motley Rice LLC, one of the nation's largest plaintiffs' litigation firms, filed a federal lawsuit today against Delta Air Lines, Inc., and its subsidiary Endeavor Air, following the crash of Delta Flight 4819 at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Feb. 17, 2025. The flight, en route from Minneapolis to Toronto, overturned upon landing, resulting in injuries to several passengers, including the plaintiff, Minneapolis resident Hannah Krebs. The lawsuit alleges Delta and Endeavor Air were negligent, the flight crew failed to adhere to standard landing procedures and inadequate training and supervision contributed to the crash. Filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, Minneapolis Division, the lawsuit seeks compensation in accordance with international aviation law (the Montreal Convention), including damages for physical and emotional injuries sustained during the crash. 'As a former U.S. Air Force navigator, I understand the challenges that flight crews often face in the moment, but adhering to established protocols is critically important to ensure passenger safety,' said Motley Rice aviation attorney Jim Brauchle, who represents Ms. Krebs. 'This suit seeks to hold Delta and Endeavor Air accountable for actions we believe led to a preventable catastrophic event.' 'It is important that survivors fully understand that they have passenger rights and a variety of legal options. They should not feel pressured to accept swift payment from any party regardless of why they say it is offered.
