“In the end, it's all about seeing a child or adult receive the gift of life.” -Brian Martindale One morning, Brian Martindale walked into a convenience store to buy a fresh pack of chewing gum when he saw a newspaper article about a young girl in urgent need of a kidney transplant. This moment changed the trajectory of his life and sparked his journey to become a living kidney donor for Jessica, a young girl suffering from kidney failure. Now, as the founder of Kidneys for Kids, Brian Martindale joins Janice to discuss his path to donation and the nonprofit’s mission to raise awareness and support children in need of transplants.
