It takes a distinctively special person to be a living organ donor. It takes a specially devoted person to find them. Will you help us find living donors? Join a network of champions and help us fight for life by finding heroes!
Today, more than 100,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving liver or kidney transplant. This includes infants, children, adults, and the elderly.
People can spend years on the national transplant waitlist...
Some don't survive the wait.
Help us save lives. Help us proclaim the need. Help us find heroes.
You may not be able to donate your kidney or part of your liver, but as a living donor champion you can still help save a life! Numerous studies by hospitals nationwide have concluded, "having a living donor champion increases a person’s chances of finding a living donor."
Being a champion involves a commitment of time and energy, advocating for a patient in need of a lifesaving transplant.
Join us in making a difference.
Champions are the backbone of our organization and play a valuable role in the recipient’s journey. Being a living donor champion is a great way to get involved and help the recipient get the transplant he or she needs as quickly as possible!
