How old is too old to save a life? At the age of 74, Tom Duncan defied societal norms to become America's oldest non-directed living kidney donor, and his story will change the way you think about aging and altruism. Join us for an intimate conversation from his serene home in Ruidoso, New Mexico, where Tom recounts the journey that began with a friend's struggle with dialysis and led him to a life-altering decision. Discover the rigorous evaluation process, the misconceptions about age limits, and the emotional benefits of donation that go far beyond the physical act.
Tom's inspiring narrative challenges preconceived notions and societal perceptions. We also delve into the Living Kidney Donor Voucher Program, which enables donors to give the gift of life while providing future security for their loved ones. Despite his loved one receiving a kidney from another source, Tom's unwavering commitment to donation shines through. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the power of giving at any age! Don't miss this chance to be inspired by stories of love, resilience, and selfless generosity. This episode is dedicated to Ernie and David.
