Valen Keefer and Cristen Wathen have both turned their personal battles with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and organ transplants into powerful platforms of advocacy and education. Their stories reflect resilience, courage, and a commitment to improving the lives of those facing similar health challenges.

Meet Valen At 41, Valen has spent over half her life as a transplant recipient. Diagnosed with PKD at just 10 years old, she received a kidney transplant at 19 and a liver transplant at 35. With limited support during her own health journey, Valen has spent the last two decades as a passionate patient advocate. She educates clinicians and the medical industry on the pre- and post-transplant needs of recipients, raises awareness about organ donation, and elevates the importance of kidney health and medical innovation. Through her authentic storytelling and resource creation, Valen has reached millions, offering hope and inspiration to chronically ill patients. Her dedication to amplifying the voice of the kidney and transplant community empowers others to become their own advocates, helping them take control of their health and pursue purposeful lives.

Meet Cristen Cristen discovered she had PKD in her early 20s, and two decades later, she underwent a lifesaving liver and kidney transplant. In addition to managing her health and family, Cristen is an Associate Professor at Palo Alto University, where she directs the Center for Educational Excellence. As a licensed counselor in California, Montana, and Idaho, she integrates her expertise as a mental health professional with her personal experience as a chronic illness and transplant patient. Cristen’s work focuses on the emotional well-being of these patients, which she weaves into her teaching, scholarship, and advocacy. Despite the challenges of PKD and transplant life, Cristen’s love for Broadway musicals, ballet, and her sense of humor help her maintain a positive outlook.

Valen and Cristen, hosts of Unpacking the Gift of Life Podcast, share inspiring firsthand stories of hope, health, and emotional well-being from kidney disease patients and transplant survivors.

Tune into this amazing Beliefcast episode to hear their empowering insights and learn more about their journey of resilience and advocacy.

Karen Wiltin’s faith exemplifies the power of believing you can overcome anything.

Karen journey is one of resilience and determination. At 44, this Physician Assistant from Lucas, TX, faced a life-altering injury during a normal ninja training session in 2019. A devastating fall left her with broken neck bones and torn ligaments, almost paralyzing her. The road to recovery was long and grueling, requiring her to wear a cervical collar for three months and undergo physical therapy for a year. During this time, Karen was unsure if she would ever return to the sport she loved, as her life was turned upside down, limiting her ability to move, work, or play with her children.

Despite these challenges, Karen’s indomitable spirit led her back to the ninja gym exactly one year after her accident. With the support of her coach, Karsten Williams, and her two young daughters, she rebuilt her strength and conquered her fears. Now, with her neck fully healed and her determination stronger than ever, Karen returns to American Ninja Warrior, determined to write a new chapter and inspire her daughters by going out on her own terms. This is more than a comeback; it’s a testament to the power of perseverance and the will to overcome. You are going to love her!
