We spent over twenty years as friends, so I knew she was special, but this goes above and beyond friendship. She’s our angel, sent to teach me how to be strong before I ever knew why I would need it. I’m happy to report Addy and Natalie successfully went through transplant 10/10/18!! Both are doing exceptionally well and have inspired so many around them more than they may ever know! Natalie, you are amazing, and we love you so much!
Shannon was dying. She was only a kid in high school and she was dying.
From ages 8 to 37, I overcame cancer, diabetes, vision loss, a pulmonary embolism, organ failure, open heart surgery, seven minutes of death, and a double organ transplant.
Little did I know at the time, but these seemingly benign things would become my entire life! Organ Donation was about to ROCK my world!
We had witnessed the miracle of organ donation, so we decided to honor our Dad by donating our kidneys anonymously.
