My husband and I were interviewed on Canada AM this morning on TV.  We briefly shared our story/journey through the waiting for a transplant process and a bit of the paired exchange program.          :cheer:

It was just awesome to see a 2 hour segment dedicated to organ donation!!

I was so touched and amazed by others who shared their story, it was just amazing!!! Helene Campbell is truly amazing!!           :clap;     

Just click on the 8 AM segment on the website I provided and you can watch my interview there!!       I'm wearing a red blouse and my husband is wearing a black shirt.   :yahoo;

I just watched your interview...it was terrific!!  Well done!  And yes, Helene is amazing; I had not heard her story.  Thanks so much for letting us watch these interviews.  How wonderful it is that Canada AM spent so much time on this topic. :clap;
