Spares Needed!TOT 6.0 (Scroll Down past map to for route details)
This ride will highlight our liver transplant as we start in Los Angeles and end in Denver.
Overview Route of TOT 6.0. See daily maps below for better accuracy.I donated a portion of my liver at almost 67.5 years old non-directed in May of 2023 at Keck Medicine of USC in California.
I was matched with a seriously ill 9-month-old baby girl at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles from Phoenix, Arizona named Selena.
The difference is almost 67 years between me as a living donor and Selena as the recipient.
As of this time, it’s the largest spread in years between a living liver donor and their recipient that we can find publicly anywhere in the world.
Keck Medicine is doing some amazingly serious, cutting edge work.
