Meet Some of Our Changemakers
"After my mom’s transplant, I knew that I wanted to make the same types of impacts on other people and their families as was made on my own. I decided at that point that I wanted to be a physician. … Transplantation – and SODA – have left [a profound] impact on my life.”
Morgan from SODA at Northeastern University
