Donate Life






There are over 85,000 people on the kidney transplant waiting list. The average wait is 5 years, many people wait much longer.  Dialysis is a means of sustaining life but the longer someone is on dialysis the success rates are less favorable. For many that wait is too long, more than 4,500 people on the waiting list die each year.

Support living kidney donation, for the recipient and the donor. It is well known that a kidney from a living donor is superior to one from a deceased donor and that there is little risk for the donors, they go on to have normal lives.
