According to United Network of Organ Sharing, only 133 living donors in the entire U.S. have donated both a kidney and a portion of their liver to two different recipients. A few years back, this was very uncommon, but more recently, we have been seeing it in the news more and more. Many transplant centers won’t even entertain the idea of letting someone donate twice, however other transplant centers are taking a second look, and essentially asking, well, why not? If the donor is emotionally and physically fit to donate a second time, then let them donate.

Today’s guest is double donor extraordinaire Lynn Bolduc who donated a kidney and a portion of her liver, both to strangers about 8 years apart. Lynn tells an emotional story about a traumatic experience when she was 14, that ultimately led her down the path of organ donation later in life. Her kidney donation story and her liver donation story are vastly different and illustrate that not all donation stories have the ending that we planned for. Tune in to hear Lynn’s brave, bold, and vulnerable story about inspiring hope.
