“I mean, she saved my life.” One organ transplant changes two lives in Cumberland County.

Some Bay Area kidney donors and recipients are defying expectations, as they take on a race more than 300 miles long. As they gear up for the challenge this week, they’re inspiring others along the way. 

Between the two of them, Whitney Baker and Hilary Baude have completed 17 half-marathons, 30 marathons, three Ironman Triathlons and donated two kidneys.

A living donor is biking across the U.S. to raise awareness about the need for living organ donations. Mark Scotch has made a stop in Las Vegas along the “Organ Trail” and visited the Nevada Donor Network on Friday.

Did you know you can donate an organ and live a long, healthy life? KNX Hero Mark Scotch has done it not once but twice, and he’s working hard to raise awareness about living organ donations.

Friday evening, four women who did not know each other prior to Tuesday completed a four-day, 444-mile bicycle ride on the Natchez Trace from its start in Nashville to its end in Natchez.

It was 2019 when Anna Cannington heard about someone in need of a kidney, and made the decision to become a living organ donor. She has never looked back.

A group of ladies with just one kidney are traveling down the Natchez Trace. They call their trek down the Trace “4 Women, 4 Kidneys, 444 miles in 4 days.”

The Pacific Crest Trail Association says only 15% to 35% of people who start hiking the famous trail finish it. 57-year-old retiree Theron Hayes is one of them.

Hilary Baude is set to take part in the 200-mile, 36-leg Wild West Relay in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, from Aug. 2-3, according to a release on the website of the Donor Games, a Connecticut-based competition that showcases kidney donors and recipients.
