Memorial Transplant Services holds a 5K Run/Walk in September to raise funds to benefit our transplant funds.
The 2016 event raised $8,000 for the funds which:
- Assist patients with transportation expenses related to doctor visits
- Help provide lodging for patients and their family members during pre-transplant workup, the period immediately following transplant surgery and during periods of treatment for rejection
- Pay for prescription medication costs and/or co-pays
- Support program development as well as education for patients and staff
This event is a wonderful opportunity for patients and donor families to come together and share their stories. Speaking with others who have experienced the gift of a transplant is very healing for many donor families.
