Learn about organ transplants from other recipients.
Faith carried her. A donor saved her. Gratitude keeps her moving forward.
This week on Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast, I’m honored to share the incredible story of Beth Beathard.
Beth’s heart problems began at age 50 with cardiomyopathy and sarcoidosis. In 2008, her life changed forever when she received the gift of a donor heart.
Her donor was just 23 years old — a young mother of three whose family, in the middle of unimaginable grief, said YES to organ donation.
Today, Beth is 70 years old, active, participating in 5Ks, and living each day with gratitude for the second chance she was given.
Every heartbeat carries a legacy.
