Organ Trail Route Adventures, Stories

Day 19. Mounds View, MN to Menomonie, WI

Posted on by markscotch

Day 19.
56 miles in, 30 to go. Jeff and I met Mark Hansen from Minnesota as we rolled into Stillwater, MN.
This is what “old man” double donors (both Mark Hansen and I donated a kidney and a sliver of our livers) have for lunch!

A big shout out to my big sis Mari and SIL Jodi for taking us in the past two nights. Jodi is the person that donated a kidney 12 years before I met Hugh Smith that in part motivated me to tell Hugh he “could have one of mine” when he mentioned that he was looking for a kidney that evening in Natchitoches Louisiana.
These two gals have set the example in so many ways!
Thank you for everything.

Hi! I’m Mark Scotch. Follow me on my kidney donation journey. My wife Lynn, and I share the knowledge gained regarding the need for living donors. I am here to prove that donors can return to their previous level of activity and good health, functioning only on a single kidney, even if that includes vigorously sustained activities.
