By Lori Prichard
Over 300 Utahns are waiting for a kidney transplant, but a Bountiful woman doesn't have to wait for a match. She's getting one from a stranger who credits NBC's weight loss reality show "The Biggest Loser" for being able to help her help others.
...
"I was here at work, and one of my customers had come up to me, and we were just talking in passing about life in general, and I had mentioned to her that I needed to have a kidney transplant. She said, ‘Oh, I want to give you my kidney,'" Olsen recalled.
That customer was Heather Hansen, a former Biggest Loser contestant from season three.
Hansen credits the show with helping her lose weight. It changed her life, now she says she can change the life of others.
...
Meanwhile, KSL News spoke to Heather Hansen by phone, and she said she's ready for the surgery. She didn't want to be interviewed on camera because she says she wants to keep the focus on Olsen and others like her who are in desperate need of transplants.
