When a loved one is in need, the gift of life takes on new meaning. From siblings to spouses, Mayo Clinic living kidney donors share how their decisions to give became a legacy of love for their families.

Living organ donation is one of the most powerful ways one person can transform the life of another. It means fewer patients waiting, fewer families enduring uncertainty, and more lives saved each year.

Over the next few months, Mayo Clinic Transplant Center aims to increase awareness of the importance of living donation by sharing living donor stories. We invite you to take part by sharing your knowledge, experiences and reflections on social media. Whether you are a donor, a recipient, a caregiver or simply someone who cares, your voice has the power to educate and inspire others.

We believe that the most powerful change starts with conversation.

Here’s how to participate:
