Kim Craft visits Wilshire Trails Tuesday, March 27, 2018 for his daily walk with pooch Bella. Craft had a heart attack in 2016, and was selected, after writing an essay, along with four other survivors from across the US to serve as part of Survivors Have Heart alongside Biggest Loser trainer, Bob Harper. Survivors Have Heart taught him how to share his story and help other survivors and their caregivers. - photo by Scott Rogers
The seat of Kim Craft’s red Yamaha Roadstar carried him back home to Gainesville from the Ozark Mountains on Oct. 15, 2016, just like it had for the past six years. But the days following that trip in 2016 were nothing like the years before. On Oct. 18, Craft had an unexpected heart attack while at work.
