#8: Connected in Unexpected Ways with Cathy

Cathy and I first bonded over our shared love of golf, but little did we know that in the near future we would be connected in an entirely new light--organ donation.

 

Cathy is a beautiful friend who shares so much about her life on the podcast today. Many of you will likely relate as she reminisces over fond memories from her childhood. Cathy shares her love of bikes and why she began biking, funny stories about her parents, and her struggle with kidney disease. Cathy has lived a full life with both ups and downs, yet her positive attitude doesn’t waver. I am grateful to have a friend like Cathy, and even more grateful that she has allowed me to share her story with you all today.
