You too can save a life!
Tax deductible
Thirty-two living kidney and liver donors, a transplant surgeon, kidney recipients and supporters team up to summit Mount Kilimanjaro on World Kidney Day, March 9, 2023 – shouting from the rooftop of a continent “You too, can save a life.”
These living, walking, climbing testimonies to how you can profoundly help another soul.....and still lead a healthy, adventurous life.....are using their bodies and collective voices to demonstrate what’s possible after donation.
The need is great:
- More than 100,000 people are on the transplant waiting list.
- 13 people a day die waiting for that life-saving gift.
- The answer is remarkably simple: 15 of our climbers already donated a kidney and/or a liver.
- Some gave their life-saving gift to someone they knew, others to a stranger…
- All gave another person a new lease on life…another family their dad, sister or child back.
“Getting to watch life flow back into someone, it’s indescribable.” Steve M., Kidney Donor
Each donor has a different journey to donation, but two threads remain constant throughout….they heard a story and felt compelled to help, and they’d do it again if they could.
All donations will support our media outreach and the visibility of our message:
- producing a mini-documentary
- wearing high visibility gear
- print and television media development
- web and social media presence
- minimal 501c3 administration expenses
* No donations are used for individual climbers. Each climber has dedicated their heart and time to this effort and has paid for their own flights, acommodations and climbing expenses.
Please help us spread their stories - in doing so, you too are helping save a life.
With gratitude and love,
All 32 climbers and more importantly the countless lives that will be healed and saved
