| Sara at last year's Walk the Walk for Organ and Tissue Donation about one month after her kidney transplant. |

| A year ago on September 29, 2005 just after her birthday, at the start of the Jewish year, Sara received the gift of life, a second birthday in the form of a kidney transplant. She had been sick for some time and had begun dialysis six months prior. On a fateful September day, while at a dialysis treatment she was informed that a kidney donor had been found. We were shocked and overjoyed. The kidney and blood type were a perfect match. We were told by the transplant coordinator that this was like winning the lottery. Our joy was tempered by the knowledge that this gift came at great cost to someone else and their loved ones. It means so much - no more grueling dialysis treatments three times a week. She can make plans for the week, for travel and life in general.
Over 90,000 people in the U.S. need an organ or a tissue transplant to save or drastically improve their lives and every 13 minutes a new name is added to the waiting list. Every day 17 people die waiting to receive an organ.
