Get Ready for Eye Donation Month: Earlier in July, Danny Rivers - one of the "faces" of upcoming 2024 Eye Donation Month in November, was set to compete in the Transplant Games in Birmingham Alabama. Danny is a bilateral cornea recipient and also donated a kidney to his father-in-law. Unfortunately, Danny suffered a knee injury during his training and was unable to compete. But, he still attended the Games as a supporter of his fellow donation recipients and living donors. Danny was interviewed about his experience at the Games and what it means to be a cornea recipient and living donor. Watch his interview, and be on the lookout for his Eye Donation Month video coming later this summer! Thanks to Advancing Sight Network for introducing us to Danny, and putting this interview on our radar! https://lnkd.in/erCtW9nM

The "Magic City" was truly magical thanks to all of the athletes, donor families and volunteers who came to compete, connect and serve. Thanks also to the Transplant Games of America staff who pulled it all together!
