Mike Rizzo is an extreme athlete, participating in Iron Man Triathlon events. Yet even though Mike enjoys pushing himself physically, he took a break from competing to be a non-directed kidney donor. A non-directed donor means you donate a kidney to anyone in need. Mike says it’s a wonderful and emotional experience knowing he saved someone’s life. For more information about living kidney donation at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center – Comprehensive Transplant Center, call 614-293-6724 or visit wexnermedical.osu.edu/transplant.
