My Story…
Almost two years ago, I had some incredible luck.
When my dad needed a liver transplant, I learned I was a universal donor and a match for my dad. On August 15th, 2022, we did a living donor liver transplant. I was able to go on leave from work for almost 3 months for the surgery and recovery and it turned out exactly as I had hoped. My dad went from frequent naps, unable to stand up himself, to zipping around the ICU in a matter of days. And now, he’s set out to walk 5K in under an hour with his cane!
On September 8th we’ll be running / walking the Yorkville 5K to celebrate the second anniversary of our surgery, our “Liverversary”, in support of the Center for Living Organ Donation at the Amerja Transplant Center at UHN.
We'd love for you to donate & join us!
