The whole aesthetic of Bonus Days Mag screams classic, timeless elegance, and we absolutely love it. Born from founder Alison Conklin’s personal heart transplant journey, the printed magazine is a space that, as Conklin explains in her bio on the website, encourages “people to know that no matter what the circumstances life can be beautiful.” The magazine is dedicated to sharing inspiring stories about resilience, life after diagnosis, post-operative well-being, and more.
Fun fact: SODA was in the summer issue of Bonus Days Mag, featuring our very own Maddie, a transplant recipient and chapter leader of SODA at GMU, and the impact students are making through SODA. You can get your hands on the issue here.
TransplantNews has our trust. We love their in-depth reporting, timely articles, and awesome interviews and human interest stories. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a donor family, a transplant recipient, or an advocate, TransplantNews really keeps you informed and connected with the latest developments, breakthroughs, and real-life stories in donation and transplantation.
Fun fact: You can check us out here! We love TransplantNews, and we’re proud to have been featured by them, such as this post last year that recognized our milestone of 100+ chapters. Plus, life hack: Search TransplantNews’ site for “SODA,” and you’ll get to see some of our milestones that they’ve reported on over the years.
This online news platform is focused solely on organ donation and transplantation news with a whole bevy of subcategories to explore, from “bone marrow” and “heart” to “emotional effects” and “videos” and everything in between. The outlet is great for finding recent breakthroughs, research highlights, and human-interest articles all in one place.
Available in digital and print formats, TransplantNATION connects the organ donation and transplantation communities. The 68-page magazine, released six times a year, is packed full of human-interest stories, including donors who gave others a second chance at life, and recipients showcasing the power of this gift of life. As their website says, the magazine also educates on an array of topics, such as transplant health, fitness medicines, technology, and policy.
So, whether you pick one of these to start reading or decide to mix and match, you’ll certainly be covered. Let us know your favorite source for organ donation and transplantation news in the comments below!
