Kris Dim

Kris suffered a heart attack on June 8, 2007. Muscular Development magazine's editor David Palumbo reported the following day, "Kris collapsed yesterday and had emergency heart surgery to repair a split in his aortic valve. The split in his valve caused a significant stroke that could have caused significant damage or death." Kris is now fighting to overcome a spinal injury that left him paralyzed and was told "There is a .03% chance that Kris will walk again." Kris said. "I 100% believe that I will be walking again. I have feeling back in my legs, and I can move my knees and toes." The injury happened while being operated on to repair a stent. When Kris woke after the operation his doctors told him, "Sorry, you have a spinal cord injury, and there is a chance that you will never walk again." Despite being told "There is a .03% chance that Kris will walk again, as of June 2013 Kris is making great progress and is walking with aid, while also undergoing extensive physiotherapy. Kris has hopes of a complete recovery and the out look is good for the popular athlete.
