She fights her way to recovery with relentless determination and exhaustive medical care."Sarah, a once-vibrant 40-year-old marathon runner, suddenly faces a mysterious illness that disrupts her life.

Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
