Brendon’s journey to transplantation was a long journey, indeed, and it is not your “typical” kidney-liver candidate story.

The day after Christmas the doctor called. I needed to come to the hospital.
My path in life took a bit of a twist when I was just 2 years old and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
I am able to share my story because of organ donors and their families who decided to give the gift of life in their saddest hours.
I was an athletic woman, but when my kidneys couldn’t clean my blood, and I started suffering from extreme fatigue, I felt devastated.
