Meet Jarod, a living kidney transplant recipient
An avid cyclist, 57-year-old Jerold Wilcox, was used to grueling uphill battles. When he found himself losing steam keeping up with his friends, he didn’t know he’d be facing his toughest challenge yet. As Jerold later reports, “My life was saved because of someone who was willing to donate.”
Meet Carson, a living liver transplant recipient
In Carson's senior year in high school, his liver was failing and he needed a transplant. His Aunt, Liz, was tested and matched Carson - so months later she donated two-thirds of her liver to save her nephews life.
