Show Notes: In September of 2024, 4 women kidney donors, over 4 days, biked 444 miles to promote living organ donation. We’re excited to have Diane Mills, one of the four women behind the event, join us to share the story of how it all began and the incredible success it achieved. She’ll talk about the supportive people they encountered along the journey and how they were able to demonstrate that living donors can lead active, fulfilling lives after donation. In our Mental Health Moment, we explore the question: Are you in control? We’ll share tips on how to ease the need to control outcomes and we honor donor hero Adah McCurley.
