Pieces of You: Organ Donation, Altruism & Why We Give

MH12.14In the December 2014 issue of Men’s Health is a story I did about living organ donors, people like Dan Coyne who donated a kidney to a woman at his local grocery store. People like Todd Musgraves who didn’t even know who he donated his kidney to, but who knew that someone needed it.

The piece is online here and can listen to an interview I did for Men’s Health Live on iTunes here:
