Welcome to Episode 13 of Gift of Life - The Organ Transplant Podcast with your host BJ Odom, a heart and kidney recipient! Today, we're taking a heartfelt journey through some of BJ's favorite moments from the first 12 episodes. Join us as we revisit the touching story of Christine, the donor mother of Chris, and the incredible moment she heard her son's heart beating in the recipient for the first time. We'll also hear from Mike Terry, a heart recipient, who BJ featured on his radio show BJ and Bill and helped raise awareness for the importance of organ donation right after BJ he learned he would need a life saving heart transplant. Melissa Tuff, a kidney recipient and advocate, shares her powerful story of lobbying in Washington on behalf of those with kidney disease and her involvement in passing laws to protect individuals in need of transplants. Get ready to bust myths about organ donation with Ashley Moore of LifeLink Florida. And learn about Lisa Donahey's decision to become a living kidney donor, and prepare for National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month in August. This month is all about creating a positive culture around organ, eye, and tissue donation across diverse communities.
