Episode 17: The Art of Throwing Something Back with Kidney transplant Recipient Meghan Cunningham

In this episode we speak with Shaye's college friend and kidney transplant recipient/thriver Meghan Cunningham. We talk about her journey from finding out she was in kidney failure while pregnant with her second child to receiving a kidney due to a co-workers kindness to living life as a kidney recipient (pandemic and all). She helps us understand the importance of organ donation (both living and diseased), and breaks down some common misconceptions that create a lot of fear. And she shines a light on immunocompromised people and how we can be more aware of our behavior through the pandemic to help immunocompromised people like her. She shares with us her mindset that got her through this extraordinarily difficult time and the quote she lives her life by. It's a remarkable story you'll definitely be inspired by.
