Life changing experience - kidney chain

I had the privilege of being an altruistic donor as part of a small kidney chain in 2012. The recipient of my kidney found a family member who donated her kidney into the 'pool' on his behalf. Her kidney went to a recipient near where I am located. A very interesting article about kidney chains appeared in the New York Times in 2012. nytimes.com/2012/02/19/heal...
