“You can donate a kidney, save a life, and go right back to whatever physical activities you do right now. There’s no [better] way to demonstrate someone’s durability than to run a dozen marathons,” says living #kidneydonor and marathon runner, Matt Cavanaugh. The Penn Transplant Institute is proud to have supported the thenationalkidneyregistry's “One Kidney, 12 Marathons” project this past weekend at the philly_marathon. Matt, and his running partner Hilary Baude – also a living kidney donor, completed 12 marathons in one year to raise awareness for living #kidneydonation and to shatter the misperception that kidney donation imposes physical limits on donors.
