In October of 2024, Bill (right) donated his kidney to his dear friend, Carter Freeman. Their friendship spans back to 1980, having played hockey together in college. This was Carter's third kidney transplant, as he had received donations in the past from his mother and brother. Bill says witnessing first-hand his friend's immediate, marked improvement in health and spirit has been an incredible, indescribable gift.

"My donation helped me realize how precious a healthy life is and how it is to maintain a good mental health balance and perspective. And I’m not the only living donor in the family! My sister donated her kidney to our mother years ago, and that was able to help our mom live a lot longer and more fulfilling life."
