Liver transplant stories

Emma: excited to give back

A young woman saved my life by being an organ donor and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life thanking her.

Because of my donor’s selfless decision to be an organ donor, I have a second chance at life and am living life to the fullest.

I am so very thankful and blessed to have received my daughter’s liver and want to encourage people to be an organ donor.

Born with cystic fibrosis, Heather received a double-lung and liver transplant at age 19.

I am so grateful for the family’s decision to gift me with a second chance.

On March 3, a team of living donors, friends and family took their first steps on a journey to the top of the world.
