Women you haven’t heard of but should know: Kelly Perkins

22 March 2007

The next on the list of amazing women is Kelly Perkins. At the age of 30 Kelly developed serious heart disease & had a transplant 3 years later.  Her story is inspirational because she decided to train her body back to health.  She was inspired because she had lost a lot of weight as a child so she just kept going.  She has been the first transplant recipient to climb some of the world’s highest peaks.  She raises awareness for organ donation & is inspiring to us all.
