organ donation is beautiful
stories of living on
Shelby was born with a rare heart condition and needed a heart transplant at age 10. Thanks to a selfless gift from an organ donor, she is able to pursue her career in medicine and is thankful for every day.
At age 12, Lauren was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and is currently on the waiting list for a new heart. She dreams of the day she has the energy to run at the park with her young daughter or teach her to throw a softball.
In July 2010, an accident took Michael’s life. But that wasn’t the end of Michael’s story. Michael saved five lives through organ donation and his legacy lives on through them.
