A MESSAGE FROM Jorge - Kidney Donor - Running the NYC Marathon, Stride for Stride
On January 10, 2024, I donated my kidney to my Stride for Stride teammate, Tom O'Keefe. On November 3, 2024, Tom and I will run the NYC Marathon together - kidney donor and kidney recipient running stride for stride. 

I'm running the NYC Marathon to show that kidney donors can lead very active lifestyles after donating a kidney. And, Tom is running to give hope to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients who are waiting for a life-saving kidney donation. 

Tom and I are running NYC in support of our organization, Stride for Stride - the team that brought Tom and I together and the team that now brings together 400 runners from 26 countries to run major races like the NYC Marathon. Running a race like the NYC Marathon is more than just running - it's about hope, empowerment, belonging and being seen. 

To donate to Tom's page please visit: https://fundraisers.hakuapp.com/tom-okeefe 

Every $100+ donation will receive a free signed copy of Tom's book 'Kindness' - the book he wrote about our kidney journey.
