On Sunday, I ran my fourth World Marathon Major since my kidney transplant just two years ago—the London Marathon.
Now I’m only two marathons away—Berlin and Tokyo—from becoming the first kidney transplant recipient from the Americas to complete the six World Marathon Majors.

None of this would be possible without an incredible friend of mine who decided to become a living kidney donor. Please consider saving a life by becoming a living kidney donor—you’ll instantly become a real-life superhero.

Woman’s March now happening through the streets of Boston. They are walking to Boylston Street then back to Boston Common. People in attendance tell us they are marching for more than just woman’s rights, but rights for everybody. @boston25

We did it! Yesterday, my kidney donor (Jorge) and I ran the #NYCMarathon 10 months after our kidney transplant in January! Thank you to kidney donors for giving us the gift of life & ability to do great things again - like running the NYC Marathon. Don’t ever give up. #DonateLife

“The BAA 5K will be the first race that Jorge and I will run together since our kidney transplant in January.
I’m excited to have a second chance at living life. And, I’m excited to show current and future kidney recipients that there is hope.”

This past year, @BostonTweet raced the Distance Medley whilst waiting for a kidney transplant. He used the DM race series to prove to himself that he could still compete in all race distances, even while on the kidney transplant list.

Absolutely beautiful article in Outside Magazine about my team and the life-saving gift that Jorge has given me.
Many Stride for Stride athletes would do anything for each other. In some cases, they’d even give a kidney. bit.ly/46Cxmu3
