“The freedom & flexibility I have been afforded by having a transplant, the good things that have come from it, the insights I have gained from it, outweigh the difficulties,” says Ken (@4_kidney). “I am so grateful & thankful for all the extra time I have had.” #LivingItForward

Next month, AODF will be hosting their 5th Annual Golf Outing for Living Donors. I don’t golf, but luckily there’s Cocktails & Dinner that follow & I hope you’ll come join us. We’ll be just outside Philadelphia in Lafayette Hill!

SUPPORT ORGAN DONORS! In January of 2021 I became a living organ donor when I donated my left kidney to my neighbor, Alan. At the time, I was extremely lucky to be fully supported by my insurance and by my friends and family, but not everyone is.

Thank you for stepping up to save someone’s life! I’ve recently starting working with @HelpOrganDonors specifically because of stories like yours. Far too many donors need support before and after they donate and the American Living Organ Donor Fund works to do that ever day.
