April is National Donate Life month. Guess what? You can totally be a living donor! That's right, you can keep breathing and eating and watching tv AND be a super hero to someone in need.
Christine and Salt Zoomed with Hartford Hospital Living Donor Transplant Coordinator, Annie Landeen and living kidney donor Michelle Reardon to find out all the details on how to become a living a donor.
Also, they wanted to know if you could get a two-for-one special — tummy tuck and kidney donation. Sadly, Annie put the kibosh on that idea, but imagine how amazing it must feel to give the gift of life. Michelle is proof positive that you can donate a kidney and continue to live a vibrant, active lifestyle. Check out the full video interview above, or listen to the audio version below.
