A Runner's Kidney Surgeons at St. Joe’s Support Master’s Athlete Craig Thompson as he Donates a Kidney to His Mom, Cathie, and Returns to Compete on a Global Stage.

“We can’t say enough about the care we received: from mom’s early diagnosis and monitoring, to the testing we underwent together; the conversations, education, counseling and the transplant surgery itself. Every person we encountered at the Hospital was remarkable, and it left a lasting impression on our family. If sharing our story inspires one person to consider donating their kidney to a loved one, then that’s something we felt like we needed to do.”
