What this episode covers
Host: Carol MacAllister Guest: Cynthia Mumma Description: Willow Valley Sales Counselor Cynthia Mumma shares with host Carol MacAllister why she decided to donate her kidney, what almost six months of preparation entailed, and that fateful day when she heard she was a perfect match for someone. That someone was a surprise and not a blood relative and yet a member of her family. Going into the operation was scary; the immediate aftermath was painful, but then, slowly, the powerful impact of what she had done spread out like a warm blanket covering so many, including us listening to this podcast. She encourages anyone interested in donating a kidney to talk to their doctor and see if they could also save a life. Links to the National Kidney Foundation, to Cynthia's email (don't call, she's working!) and to that short, poignant film I mentioned are below in the Notes. Check it out.
