Message of Gratitude from the President/CEO and Chair of the Board With the passing of each season and the start of a new year, we take time to reflect on the success of the previous year. Thousands of individuals and their families are thriving because someone said “yes” to organ and tissue donation. Our team at LifeLink works countless hours, often in a critical, time-sensitive environment, to bring life and hope to others. Our focus on continuous performance improvement resulted in a record-breaking year for those served through our organ procurement organizations, transplantation immunology laboratory and Ms. Jean Aiken Davis
tissue bank, and is highlighted in this annual report. We appreciate and thank our community partner—hospitals, medical examiner offices, funeral homes, coroners, drive license offices and work places—whose support makes our mission possible. A final thank you goes to our dedicated volunteers for sharing their personal stories and inspiring others to register as organ and tissue donors. The LifeLink annual report represents the work of many dedicated individuals and serves as a tribute to the compassion and generosity of the donors and their families who make this life-changing work possible.

It is evident when coroners and medical examiners facilitate donation by efficiently gathering needed evidence so that donation can take place in a timely manner; and when transplant centers and OPOs work together to celebrate the gift of life by dramatically lighting local landmarks blue and green during Donate Life Month. Most of all, this is evident in the once in a lifetime moments where donor families share their loved ones’
stories, recipients search for words of gratitude and, sometimes, a donor mom gets to hear her son’s heart beat again, in the chest of the patient whose life he saved.

ennifer closed her eyes after a long day of work, ready to recharge her body. A few hours later, she awoke to the worst pain she had ever felt. It began in her neck and radiated down both arms. Jennifer’s husband, Matt, rushed her to the hospital where she was immediately referred to a neurosurgeon. Weeks of testing revealed Jennifer needed surgery at four levels of her cervical spine to prevent paralysis from the neck down. Because of a tissue donor, Jennifer’s six-hour spinal surgery was a success. Today, Jennifer continues her hobbies of refurbishing furniture and home remodeling. When recounting her tissue transplantation experience she says, “I went to sleep that night never dreaming that the coming days would be so profound and life-changing for me. I am thankful for the person who donated bone that was able to be placed in my spine. They are a part of me forever, both physically and emotionally.”

ohn, after retirement from service with the United States Army, along with his wife, Barbara, immersed themselves in volunteering for many organizations. Early on in their marriage, John and Barbara discussed organ donation and decided together to register as organ and tissue donors. They had no idea how intertwined their lives would later become with those decisions. Kidney failure, brought on by high blood pressure, resulted in John enduring four years of dialysis before he received a kidney transplant. “If I had not received my transplant, I would not be here today. I am forever grateful to
my donor and their family,” says John. Eight years later, Barbara suffered a stroke, and her decision to be an organ donor was honored. Barbara loved gardening and John remembers her each time he sees a flower. John, who was married to Barbara for nearly forty-seven years, thinks of her daily and remains proud of her ability to give life to others.
A
t 18 years old, Linnette was
told by doctors that she was in liver failure due to an autoimmune hepatitis condition and needed a liver transplant. The news was hard for Linnette to hear. Thankfully, three months later, Linnette received the call that a new liver had been found. Today, she enjoys renewed life with family and friends. Linnette had the opportunity to meet her donor’s family and thank them in person for giving her the opportunity to achieve her dreams. She shared her transplant experience with them and offered her endless gratitude for receiving the ultimate gift someone can have, life itself.

LifeLink Tissue Bank recognizes that each allograft placed has a backstory filled with medical professionals, community partners, LifeLink staff, and of course a donor and their family, who make life-enhancing tissue transplantation a reality for patients in need. Seminars, such as “Donation & Transplantation: The Full Circle” and “The Journey of the Gift,” are offered throughout the year for healthcare personnel who care for tissue recipients, to ensure the magnitude of such gifts is recognized. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are awarded for completion.

2019 Donate Life Rose Parade Float On January 1, 2019, organ donor Briana Brooks symbolically represented all LifeLink organ and tissue donors when her image was featured on a floragraph—a portrait made entirely of floral and other organic material—on the Donate Life Rose Parade Float, as part of the iconic Rose Parade, viewed in-person from Pasadena, California, and via television on New Year’s Day by millions worldwide. 2019 marked the 16th annual appearance of the Donate Life Rose Parade Float, which in addition to floragraphs of organ, tissue and eye donors, featured transplant recipient float riders and walkers alongside the float who were living organ donors. Briana Brooks registered as a donor when she received her learner’s permit. Later, in 2014, Briana was a young mother of two, pregnant with her third child, and studying for a career in healthcare when she and her fiancé were kidnapped at gunpoint. Both were found hours later with catastrophic injuries. Briana’s fiancé had already succumbed to his injuries and she was barely alive. At the hospital Briana underwent an emergency C-section to save her unborn child, Kaylie. Doctors told Briana’s family her injuries were not survivable and three days later Briana’s donation decision was honored and her gifts of life saved four people. Her family took great comfort in knowing that through donation, Briana would be remembered not for the brutal way in which she died, but rather for the lives she saved as an organ donor. Five years later, Kaylie, along with sister Kylee and grandmother Sadria were able to celebrate the legacy of life given by Briana in Pasadena, alongside other Donate Life Float participants, as part of festivities surrounding the 2019 Rose Parade.
Donor mom, Sadria Strong, holds Briana’s floragraph during an event to put the finishing touches on the details of Briana’s face.

However, there are instances when those organs and/or tissues are unable to be transplanted, in which case they can still be directed to help others in need through research initiatives.

modern day Thelma and Louise, the best friend duo of Kimberly and Trish are quite the pair. They are never far from adventure and enjoy living life to the fullest. When Kimberly was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease that occurs when an antibody builds up in the kidneys, she began dialysis with the knowledge that a transplant would be in her future. In the meantime Trish, after seeing her friend struggle with the effects of dialysis, knew she had to be tested as a living donor.
Doctors requested Trish change her diet and lose weight before the transplant could take place. Trish followed the doctors’ recommendations and her kidney donation to Kimberly was approved. “I didn’t just save Kimberly’s life by being her kidney donor. She gave me an important gift of life too—a healthier lifestyle,” says Trish. Kimberly says of her living donor, “I am in awe of her. I can’t even describe how grateful I am to Trish. Forever grateful.”

hen Adrian began experiencing blurry vision, doctors ran numerous tests to determine the cause. They found a blockage in his lung and, after several misdiagnoses, Adrian learned he had sarcoidosis—an inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs in the body with abnormal masses forming in those organs. Doctors told Adrian he would eventually need a lung transplant. Over the next seven years doctors maintained
the stability of Adrian’s lungs with medication. Then, within six months of being placed on the transplant waiting list, Adrian received his second chance. He has always enjoyed traveling, art and being active with his fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma, Inc., and is grateful to still be able to enjoy those things thanks to his transplant. “I’m very thankful to my donor’s family for allowing me the opportunity to live,” says Adrian.

sudden onset of health issues led Kelly to make an appointment with her doctor, who diagnosed her with a bladder infection. Despite medication, her health declined further. Days later she was admitted to the hospital with a high creatinine level and tests showed she was in kidney failure. Kelly slipped into a coma for ten days and spent a month in the intensive care unit. Kelly’s sister, Jamie, immediately asked to be tested as a living kidney donor when doctors explained transplant was the only option. She told Kelly, “I need my sister. I don’t need two kidneys. Let me do this for you.”

Jamie had a twinkle in her eye as she told Kelly she was a perfect match, almost as if they were identical twins. Seven months after Kelly received Jamie’s kidney, Jamie was tragically killed. It was with Jamie’s giving spirit in mind that her family agreed to organ donation. In memory of Jamie, Kelly designed a butterfly garden and every time she sees a butterfly, she remembers the lives that Jamie saved, including her own.

Medical tests, including a liver biopsy, revealed a diagnosis of Alagille Syndrome—a genetic liver disorder caused by abnormalities in the bile ducts. Mattie’s parents understood that in order to give their third daughter a chance for a better quality of life, she would need a liver transplant. After four months on the transplant waiting list, at the age of two, Mattie received

Her donor’s family is never far from my mind.” Today, Mattie is a lively teenager who loves playing volleyball and basketball. About receiving the gift of life Mattie says, “If I could meet the parents of the child who gave me their liver, I would start crying because I am so thankful. I could have died if it wasn’t for this family.”

sibling history of cystic fibrosis (CF) led doctors to diagnose Ashley with CF when she was only one week old. Her older brother by two years, David, was also diagnosed at an early age. David sadly lost his courageous fight when he was 21; one month after Ashley was listed for a lung transplant. Still grieving the loss of her brother, Ashley received a double lung transplant after 13 months on the waiting list. A few years later she met and married Jason; a milestone Ashley never thought she would achieve. Due to the nature of CF, after seven years of renewed health, Ashley found herself once again receiving the gift

Her dream of being a mother became a reality through foster parenting. “My calling is to love on kids and help others as I have been helped,” says Ashley. “As foster parents, Jason and I are able to provide a loving and safe environment for children who otherwise don’t have that care.” Ashley’s beautiful family is possible because of two donors who gave life through donation. “I am so grateful for their selfless gifts, so ® people like me can experience abundant life,” says Ashley.

J was a gracious and kind young man who was diagnosed with nocturnal seizures at the age of 20. Two years later DJ experienced a seizure that deprived his brain of oxygen for an extended period of time. His mom, Tammy, spent the next week searching for a sign of how to move forward as DJ lay unresponsive in the hospital. After a conversation with a friend who had also recently lost a child, she knew DJ would want her to say “goodbye” and allow his legacy to continue on through organ donation.

he bond between brothers is unbreakable, but when an unidentified kidney disease binds you together, the bond is even stronger. Kidney disease was passed down from the Whitten brothers’ grandfather, who received a kidney transplant in 1983. The four brothers were diagnosed at very young ages and had annual blood work to monitor the disease’s progression. In 2013, after being on the active transplant waiting list for just six hours, Hu became the first Whitten brother to receive a kidney and pancreas transplant. Four weeks later, Michael was involved in a paired kidney donation

hen Peyton was born, she was slightly jaundiced, but doctors were not concerned. However, on a Super Bowl Sunday two months later, her parents noticed the whites of her eyes had turned green. They rushed Peyton to the hospital where she was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a disease of the bile ducts that affects only infants. Doctors performed an emergency surgery to remove bile ducts outside Peyton’s liver and then attached her small intestine to the liver, allowing bile to properly drain. Unfortunately, the procedure was unsuccessful and Peyton was placed on the organ transplant waiting

A match had been found and Peyton, at the age of two, received her new liver. “We celebrate her transplant anniversary like it’s her birthday,” says her father, Tim. “We also think about her donor family continually. We do not know them, but we love them because they are a part of our family now.” Today, Peyton is a thriving pre-teen who loves playing with slime, painting and riding her bike; things that at one time, her parents were unsure she would be able to do.

fficer Jody Smith was a dedicated campus police officer at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, GA, when he was tragically killed in the line of duty. Officer Smith’s family was not surprised to learn that he had registered as an organ and tissue donor. That decision resulted in multiple lives saved and improved through donation, including Brandon’s life. Brandon struggled with high blood pressure that led to permanent damage of both his kidneys. Brandon began grueling dialysis until a new kidney became available. After eight long years, Brandon received the gift of life thanks to
Officer Smith. Brandon, also originally from Americus, says this about receiving Jody’s kidney, “I feel special knowing his family.

I will never be able to fully express my gratitude.” LOCATION COURTESY OF GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY, AMERICUS, GA
