Sometimes a person comes along whose story is irresistibly inspiring! That is my experience with Ruth Heidrich, Ph.D., vegan triathlete and cancer survivor. I am no athlete nor was I a vegan or a cancer survivor when I first learned about Ruth from watching the life changing documentary film FORKS OVER KNIVES. But I had had a heart attack at age 70 and needed the encouragement of her fortitude and resilience in the face of her diagnosis of stage four breast cancer in her 40s.
She inspired me to take my health into my own hands, change my diet and move forward with a bright spirit.
Several years later, I had the wonderful good fortune of meeting Ruth in person on a McDougall adventure in Hawaii. We became friends. I read her books and she read and endorsed mine, GO VEG WITH CLASS. Then she asked me to endorse the new edition of her book, A RACE FOR LIFE. I did, with delight, and just last week a copy of that new edition arrived in my mailbox. Here it is —Ruth’s uplifting story. It’s a powerful book about an extraordinary person still thriving in her 90s. Inside the front cover is my endorsement! Read A RACE FOR LIFE and be inspired whatever your age!
