Patti See/Kidney Donations

diagram of kidney

Patti See is an ordinary person who took an extraordinary "leap of faith" by becoming a Good Samaritan kidney donor last year. Growing up Catholic, but attending church infrequently at present, she has nonetheless nurtured a deep spiritual life.

Patti, as a writer and an inwardly-reflective person, has looked for better and better ways to share her rich life with the world - serving meals at the Community Table, acting as advisor for the UW-Eau Claire Feminists group, and now, through the University of Minnesota Fairview Medical Center, she gave a most intimate gift, one of her kidneys, to a complete stranger.

For those interested in helping out folks needing transplants, check the National Kidney Foundation or MatchingDonors.

With all the clutter that can occur on commercial radio, I love to listen to Mark's program to remind me about the positive vibes that are occuring in our community. The program with Patti See was particularly inspirational. Each and every one of us has an opportunity to make a difference in this world if we choose to do so. Thank you Mark!
