Donate Life Ambassador Writes Book About Transplant Experience

LifeLine of Ohio

Diane Tefft Young says she is humbled by the gift she received from her lung donor. She was so humbled, in fact, that she was inspired to share the experience.

“I was so grateful because I was so close to dying,” said Diane.
