Giving Herself

Susan called it a midlife crisis; Robert just calls it life.

My friend Susan Matheson was the first in West Michigan to donate a kidney to a stranger. Typically, donors are family members of those who need a transplant, but Susan didn't know Robert, and wouldn't unless he wanted to meet.

He did. Here's the video of this ultimate act of philanthropy: giving life.

  1. I also have a friend who donated her kidney as a living donor. Here's her story if you're interested. http://ferreehardy.blogspot.com/2010/03/gratitude.html

  2. That's wonderful! I first heard about people doing this while writing "A Generous Life" (scroll down at http://classic.nwciowa.edu/spring2009/alumniprofiles)
