EP1: A Donor’s Story, with Tammy Turner

Hello Friends! Welcome to Episode 1 of the Your Age is Not Your Cage Podcast. I felt there was no better way to kick off this podcast than by having my lifelong friend, Tammy Turner, on the show to share our story. After years of suffering from kidney disease, Tammy is in need of a kidney and I am blessed to be her donor!

 

In this debut episode, we chat about Tammy's battle with kidney disease, the process of becoming a donor, the crucial need for living donors, and how maintaining faith in Jesus has led us through this process. Tune in to hear more and always remember, your age is not your cage!
