Tác giả: Kristy Sidlar

Few people get a second chance at life. But Kristy Sidlar had a second and a third. She dodged death twice, both times thanks to total strangers. The first was when she collapsed from a life-threatening heart condition and someone was at the right place at the right time. The second was when she finally received the greatest gift of life – a donor heart. Now she shares her experiences to inspire others. In her memoir, Change of Heart: My Journey of Transplantation, Revelation & Transformation, Kristy shares her powerful story with humor, heartache, and hope. The book features Kristy”s Wellness Widget, a tool for readers to use to upgrade their minds and bodies to strive for optimum health. As a long-time volunteer and board member for the American Heart Association, Kristy advocates for heart health, especially for women. She”s also a board member for Project Beautiful, Inside and Out. A life-long sales professional in the staffing and recruiting industry, Kristy has lived and worked in Singapore and traveled the world. Kristy is a Michigan native with a Bachelor of Arts from Hope College. She and her husband, Dave, love spending time in Northern California. Kristy”s hobbies include driving and admiring exotic and classic cars, photography, fitness, and cardmaking. After completing two 5K races since her surgery, she”s currently training for a triathlon.
