BONUS: Great Actions Leave a Mark - Paul
Listen now
Description
In September, 2022, we launched Great Actions Leave a Mark, a national, multi-year public awareness campaign about living organ donation and transplantation. It has images and videos of living kidney and liver donors and recipients from across Canada. This week you will hear another story from a great actions model about their journey with living organ donation. In this episode, host Candice was joined by Paul. Paul’s partner was diagnosed with kidney failure and told him about the three possible paths he could go down. Paul acted without hesitation, thinking he would be a good candidate. After vigorous testing, Paul and his partner found out he was a wonderful match, and they had a successful transplant.  The views and opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Toronto General Hospital or the University Health Network.  To submit or share your story, please reach out to us at [email protected] To view the Great Actions Leave a Mark campaign, please visit www.greatactions.ca
