Peggy Averitt is a grateful liver transplant recipient in Orange County, California who has raised awareness for organ and tissue donation as a OneLegacy/Donate Life Ambassador. With her second chance at life, much of this nurse's volunteer time goes toward sharing her story to audiences so they understand the impact of being a donor.

In this interview, Peggy – who celebrated her 7th Liverversary in the summer of 2020 – talks about her diagnosis with end-stage liver disease and the critical decision her doctor in California made that significantly increased her chances of getting a new organ. Peggy also shares some health obstacles she faced as a result of the transplant, which she says has been worth it because she is alive. A grandmother of two, Peggy's enthusiasm for life and her mission caught the attention of Confidence, an online magazine which featured her on its cover in its May/June 2020 issue.
