Stories

Every one of our patients and donors has a unique story to share. Their stories instill the hope for a cure in patients who are waiting for or going through a transplant. Our donor stories inspire others to act by joining the registry, volunteering and raising money. Their powerful stories of survival and saving lives are the reason we do everything in our power to support our patients, donors and the transplant community.
