Megan Needs Your Help
Megan is a newly married 24-year-old woman who needs a kidney transplant. Born with bilateral renal arterial stenosis, she spent months on life support at Boston Children’s Hospital. Thanks to a wonderful team of dedicated doctors and nurses, Megan, at 16 months old became strong enough to get a kidney transplant from her mom. The kidney lasted for over 22 years. During these years, Megan had several medical challenges including spinal fusion surgery but with each setback, she remained positive and fought to have as normal a life as possible. Since her kidney failed in January, Megan has balanced hemo-dialysis three times per week with her work as a medical assistant and her life with her new husband, puppy, and home.

Hi everyone!
After having the old transplant removed because of a cancerous growth we are inching closer to the transplant. Megans sister has been approved as the donor and the scan a couple of weeks ago shows no cancer has spread. One more test and hopefully we will have a date for transplant day.

Megan finally has an approved donor for her kidney transplant. In the mean time during some routine testing they found something and had to remove the previous transplant, which happened this past week at Brigham and women's she is recovering nicely and we will meet with the transplant team to discuss next steps in the very near future.
All the best to her supporters and thanks for all the prayers and people following her progress.
