'I was able to walk the (5k) because of my donor, because they gave me the second chance of life and I'm just super grateful.'
Kathy Augustine was only 28 years old when she was rushed to the hospital for emergency heart surgery in 2017. Augustine was in her first year of teaching kindergarten, and she had been plagued with what seemed like a bad cold for weeks, but she didn't think much about it — until her heart failed.
"I had no idea what I was going to do," Augustine told TODAY. Augustine actually died during surgery, and it wasn't clear what kind of recovery might be possible for her."My parents didn’t know if I was going to be a vegetable or if I’d be able to do anything," said Augustine. Augustine was in a wheelchair for that first excursion, but she said that being able to explore parks and go on rides was one of the things that motivated her to start exercising."I've always been a theme park person," she said."So, I’ve always walked a lot in theme parks, but the I started getting in even more walking because I wanted to get healthy."
