About 80% of the people on the transplant waiting list need a new kidney. Living kidney donors are true heroes, and we need more of them. Last year, we had the privilege of meeting Cindi Love, a living donor who saved NFT patient Tom Wirt's life. Tom and Cindi had never met and lived in different areas of the country. They found each other on matchingdonors.com, and Cindi gave Tom the best Valentine's gift imaginable: a brand-new kidney.
We featured Cindi and Tom in our spring 2010 newsletter. To read more about their inspirational story, click here.
