Hey all! I donated a kidney altruistically after my mom received a kidney from an altruistic donor (I wasn't a match). Donation was a life changing event for both of us. My mom is now writing and speaking on compassion and altruism.

As are you! My mom was 74 when she received her kidney from a 35yo donor, but the nephrologist told her that she had the health of a woman in her mid-50's. Good to hear that your dad is still going strong.
