Donating to a stranger

Posted on by markscotch

A new film coming out by Penny Lane.

I first heard about Penny Lane giving her kidney to a stranger on a Penn Jillette podcast.

“And I am not bullshitting when I say it will save lives.  Did you know that 13 Americans die every day waiting for a kidney transplant?  That’s the bad news.  But the good news is that if only 1 in 10,000 people could be inspired to give a kidney, the waiting list would be eradicated immediately.  It is not that hard to convince 1 in 10,000 people to do something relatively easy* if they know it will save someone’s life. This is my motivation!!!” Penny Lane

Hi! I’m Mark Scotch. Follow me on my kidney donation journey. My wife Lynn, and I share the knowledge gained regarding the need for living donors. I am here to prove that donors can return to their previous level of activity and good health, functioning only on a single kidney, even if that includes vigorously sustained activities.
