Born with the rare liver disease biliary atresia, John's only hope for survival was the untimely death of another young child, and the success of a very experimental surgery. With the outcome never certain, his parents remained steadfast in the belief that he would get through this and live a long and healthy life. That belief and support carried John through adolescence, where he was determined not to let his medical history define him. After receiving a second transplant, and third chance at life, He was bound and determined to make it mean something. Connecticut native and Author John Hoffman shares his story for himself, but for those like him, who have been honored to be organ recipients.
