When Hilly Blondheim found out that his friend and co-worker was in dire need of a kidney transplant,he knew he wanted to help. That decision would lead Hilly, his family, his friend and a group of other like-minded people down a path that they could never have imagined.
This is a story that shows how one act of kindness can ripple outward to touch others—changing their lives (as well as your own) in the process.
In this episode,on location outside of Atlanta,Georgia,we enjoy having our first live studio audience (who gave us some insightful questions to ask our guests) and we get to play a new game called “Where’s That Kidney?” There is plenty of laughter, tears and insightful conversation about a topic that needs to be talked about more — organ donation.
None of this would have been possible without the wonderful folks at Emory Healthcare. If you or anyone you know would be interested in potentially becoming a life-saving kidney donor at Emory Healthcare, you can register for screening here: emorylivingdonor.org
If you would like more information about Paired Kidney Donation and the National Kidney Registry, you can find it here: www.kidneyregistry.org
And if you are looking for opportunities to get involved with the local (GA) Transplant Community, you can find more info at https://gatransplant.org/get-involved/
