Corey Zaretsky is using his love of thrill-seeking to prove that you can live an active, healthy, and happy life with one kidney. He's also hoping to inspire others to consider donating. kidney.org/newsletter/takin...

WOW this is so cool! It is great to normalize living donation and demonstrate just how healthy you can be post-op. And in this case, get even more healthy! Very inspiring!

I am also a living donor and I hiked 48 miles in 4 days this summer. Me and my husband went backpacking and took a loop around the 3 Sisters in Oregon. I'm 13 years post-op. It was very difficult... I should have trained more, but that isn't my kidney's fault :)
