Nancy Spaeth – 4 Kidney Transplants and Going Strong

Nancy Spaeth from USA – a registered nurse, mother of two and recipient of four kidney transplants - this is what you will get if you Google her. She had just started her 7th grade in September 1959 when she was diagnosed with kidney disease; life after that has been a roller-coaster ride for her

“…In 2000 she received her fourth kidney which until today is working fine and she is healthy. She has been doing all that she enjoys starting from skiing to water aerobics and keeping herself fit…This woman who fought against all odds and remains a strong anti-salt crusader is in every sense an inspiration for renal failure patients.

She recently visited Chennai, India to deliver the Krishnan Ang TANKER Foundation Endowment lecture and also received The La Renon TANKER Foundation for the Sake of Honour Award, given to any person doing exemplary work in his/her field at the 20th TANKER Annual Charity and Awards Nite 2013…”
