Andy

Meet Andy Smith. Andy was inspired to explore living donation when he saw a high school donate a kidney to a friend. Only about 10 people donate a kidney anonymously in BC each year. Andy was one of these living kidney donors in 2021. He donated a stranger in Montreal through the national paired kidney donation program run by Canadian Blood Services.

Ordinary people are capable of doing extraordinary things. Whether it's stepping forward as a living donor, registering as a deceased donor, donating blood or spreading awareness...YOU are capable of taking a brave action. You can not only change a life...you can save a life.
