April is National Donate Life Month and as such, the Living Legacy Foundation hosted it's fourth annual giving luncheon last week. Anna and I had the pleasure of attending the luncheon and were able to sit with a table full of Virginia Mason donors and recipients. I've communicated with these folks leading up to and through our kidney transplant processes via email but I had yet to meet anyone in person before last week's luncheon. I have to say everyone was so kind and delightful to meet.
The luncheon itself was wonderful, it was a very professional event and I think everyone had a lovely time. They even provided every table with Kleenex tissues due to the highly charged nature of the guest presenters. And let me tell you, those tissues were used! The luncheon is open to anyone interested in supporting organ donation - so I welcome all of you to consider attending next year.

Hello Anna and Nicole. Thank you for your blog, it has been very inspirational. I am working toward donating my kidney to my 27 year old daughter who is blind and developmentally disabled. The transplant will probably take place this summer.
How is Anna's health?

Thank you so much for your blog. I have found it very helpful as it adds to the information that I received from the professionals. This gives more of a full picture. I am donating to my brother in a month. You have described many of the feelings that I have had and answered many of the questions I had about the process. I had my brother check this blog out too and he read some info that was new to him too.
Thank you very much. Best of luck to both of you.
