 60 |  Subject: Hi! I am Heather!!!I am 41, raised in San Diego, currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. I started cycling last year when I bought a used giant road bike I found in the classifieds. I am a single mom to 3 kids, and a Registered Nurse. A few years ago I was diagnosed with kidney failure and told I would need a transplant within 5 years. I curled up in fetal position and died for a few years, major depression took hold and some days I couldn't even take care of my kids. One day, I woke up when I realized my kidneys hadn't gotten any worse after 3 years. I decided "if" I was going to have this chronic illness, I would rather die living, then live dying.  I am doing much better these days and excited to increase my fitness level, take off some weight, and conquer some goals. Lots of races planned for this upcoming year. Thank you for letting me introduce myself! |

| Expert 1233 | Subject: RE: Hi! I am Heather!!! Welcome, I love Salt Lake City! Was visiting Park City a few months ago and went to the Olympic Ski area, all I could think about was wanting to run up that hill that leads from the entrance to the visitor's center. Planning on doing that this summer! |

| 60 | Subject: RE: Hi! I am Heather!!! let me update.... I had surgery in October to fix the problem that was causing my kidneys to fail (internal bleeding) fingers crossed, this part of my life will be behind me now. I haven't really been able to exercise for a few years, so I am excited to make some progress and see what my body can do! Thank you for the encouragement and welcome! Sincerely, Heather |
