Author Risa Simon found herself stuck in a state of anxiety for years. Yet, after she discovered the value of getting a kidney transplant (from a living kidney donor before she required dialysis) she pushed herself to advocate for a better (and longer) life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more than a decade, Simon has been helping kidney patients (just like you) do the same.

The organ shortage robs 8,000 patients a year from ever getting a transplant because they either died or became too sick while waiting. These numbers don't include the tens of thousands of individuals who die every year on dialysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour best hope for a better (and longer) life depends on your ability to find a living kidney donor who can end your wait.
