Kidney Sought for LPA Member Dear LPA members and friends, This message brings an unusual, but extremely important request. One of our members, Brad Jordan, is in need of a kidney transplant. Brad and his sister, Bridgette, both have primordial dwarfism. If you have been to an LPA conference in the last 15 years, chances are you have met Brad or Bridgette and their mom Christy, or saw one or both of the siblings on the Fashion Show runway or Talent Show stage. The Jordans have faced every adversity with a sense of humor and a strong faith. Now the need for a kidney for Brad is urgent. They have exhausted the family possibilities. Brad is on the long list to receive a kidney from another source, and now must rely on word of mouth to find a personal donor. He is quickly approaching the need for dialysis. Although nothing to be taken lightly, it is 100% possible to donate a kidney and live a completely healthy and typical life. For more about general kidney donation please see the National Kidney Foundation kidney.org/transplantation/livingdonors. To read a personal story about kidney donation please visit ZeroKidneyWaitlist. This new website is the story of Joanna Campbells lifelong family friend and her kidney donation for a co-worker. Please feel free to share this information with any of your friends, family, co-workers. We are hopeful that somehow something positive will come from putting this out there. Contact the nurses at the numbers below, or Christy Jordan (primordialmom@gmail) for more information.
