Kerri Tanner, Living Donor

Arizona resident gives kidney to woman she will never know...

Kerri Tanner, a mom to three kids and Arizona native, chose to give the ultimate gift to a stranger. She worked with the National Kidney Registry to find a recipient who needed a kidney and created a kidney chain which ended up not only giving this woman her kidney, but started a chain that immediately gave two other people kidneys as well.

While her recipient has chosen to not yet meet Kerri, she still knows each day that she made an amazing difference in their life. The recipient’s transplant center reports that her kidney is doing well in the recipient.

This is how a woman in Arizona impacted a woman in New York that she may never meet.
