Tom O’Driscoll has been running, biking and swimming his way to having the best possible endurance to enable him to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
He’s climbing with other living donors from the United Network for Organ Sharing .
Soon after, he was in surgery in California giving to a total stranger. More than 10 years later, he’s also donated part of his liver. The disparity between who needs an organ and who can give is huge. There are 104,000 people on the transplant list, and last year there were just under 43,000 donors. That’s why O’Driscoll is ready to shout his story from the mountains. He’s hoping by telling his own story, it will spark something in someone else just like that radio report did for him years ago.
