Donate Life

The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 350,000 people in the US have end-stage renal disease and about 67,000 people die of kidney failure every year. In the year 2000, 47,000 people in the US were waiting for a kidney transplant. The lack of organs available for transplantation is a serious problem. By signing a donor card, an individual indicates their wish to be a donor. It is important to share your wishes with your next of kin as they will be asked prior to a donation.

Dash for Donation

Saturday was the Dash for Donation. It really is a great event. It appeared as though there were about 1600 people in attendance. We had a great turnout as always. Ryan ran the half marathon while the rest of us did the 5k. It is hard to believe it has been over a year and a half since the transplant. Organ donation changes lives.

I also had to upload a picture of all of our babies. We are finally a family again.
