Twitter Connection Leads to Successful
Transplant at University of Minnesota
Medical Center, Fairview

Starting in April 2009, Chris Strouth needed dialysis three times a week to survive with his failing kidneys. He knew he might have to wait a long time on the list for a deceased donor kidney. So he sent out a plea on Facebook and Twitter asking if there was anyone who might be willing to donate a kidney to him. One of his cyber friends responded to the call and, as luck would have it, was a perfect match. To read more about their story as told by WCCO TV, click on the link: Kidney Transplant A Success Among Cyber Friends .
