Topic: Living Donation Today: My Journey, Your Impact, and How We Can Move Forward Together
Speaker: Ms. Laurie Lee, Transplant Village
Please join us for the OTS meeting that will be held on Friday, September 5, 2025. This meeting will be held on Zoom starting at 7pm CST. The topic of this meeting is all about living donation, and we will hear the personal story from someone who donated a kidney to a stranger and how we can all advocate for more living donors in our community.
The speaker for this meeting is Ms. Laurie Lee, who donated a kidney to a stranger in 2016. Laurie will share her journey as a donor, and she will also explain the process of becoming a donor for a kidney or liver. Laurie will also explain the urgency for more living donors and how everyone in the transplant community can help to advocate for more living donors.
Laurie decided to donate a kidney after her father Dan Dickinson successfully received a liver transplant in 2011. She became a living kidney donor in 2016, setting off a chain of donations that saved six people waiting for transplants. Since her kidney donation Laurie and her father established Transplant Village in partnership with Northwestern Hospital. Evey month they hold a program for pre transplant liver and kidney patients, the Donor Champion Program. In this program they offer information about how to find a living donor. Laurie also has a podcast called Donor Diaries, to promote stories of living donation.
This is an important meeting for transplant recipients, caregivers and anyone who wants to learn more about living donation. We will email the Zoom login info the day before the meeting. We hope to see you at this OTS meeting on Friday, September 5, 2025.
