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.

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.
