EP 97 - Katy Rozman: The Woman Who’s Had 4 Hearts

We all face adversity, and some most definitely will face more than others. It sometimes seems that those who have faced the most adversity are the ones who seem the best at handling it. 

Katy Rozman has been called a walking miracle due to the fact that she has been the recipient of 3 heart transplants, making 4 hearts including the one she was born with. She has also been the recipient of a kidney transplant.

For these reasons Katy has been an advocate for organ donation doing all she can to extoll the benefits of donating your organs instead of passing up the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, for without organ donation, Katy would not be here.
