I probably should've posted this in the beginning of the month but anyway...better now than never.
I had my liver transplant at the age of 13, its almost 17 years later. I wouldnt be here to day chatting with you people and running if it hadnt been for my donor. She was an 11 year old from Arkansas. I dont know her name or anything else about her but she remains in my heart everyday. If her family hadnt said yes to organ donation, I wouldnt be alive today. I owe everything I've become and my accomplisments to her and her family.

Thank you, Marathon Peach |

Thanks, Peach. My MIL needs a kidney so, I appreciate your fervor in creating more awareness for organ donation. Glad you are a recipient too and to have gotten to *know* you here. You're an inspiration.  |
