Today I am sharing with you an interview with someone extraordinary. Jillian Best is a woman of greatness who inspires others through her goals and accomplishments. In today’s episode, Jillian walks us through her near-death experience and the realization of how precious this life is.
Jillian recently created the Move for Life Foundation, which fuels her desire to shorten the waitlist for an organ transplant and increase the chances of survival. The foundation financially helps transplant programs across Canada attain what they need to perform as many lifesaving transplants as possible.
Jillian has a hereditary disease, which required her to have a lifesaving transplant in 2016; organ donation has played a vital role within her and her family’s life. Since her transplant, Jillian has prioritized her health to swim competitively at the World Transplant Games and now holds five world records in her age group.
Most recently, Jillian swam 52km across Lake Ontario, raising over $130,000 to purchase new equipment for the London Health Science Centers Multi-Organ Transplant Program. This equipment will increase the pool of viable organs that can be used to perform lifesaving organ transplants at one of Canada’s leading transplant centers.
