Overview

Kristina is an athlete, personal trainer, and endurance coach, whose life is turned upside down when she's diagnosed with a rare, genetic heart disease.

How will she maintain her relationships when they all revolve around sports? More importantly, if she is no longer an athlete, then who exactly is she?

Kristina's story is one that will be appreciated by anyone whose life is suddenly disrupted by an acute medical condition or has suffered a profound personal loss.
