TRIO Philadelphia entertained special guests at their chapter meeting recently.

Mary Wu, co-leader of the TRIO Youth Circle movement, author, Rose parade float rider, two time kidney recipient, public speaker, Washington testimonial speaker… (need I go on?) and her lifelong caregiver (university professor, cancer researcher, etc.) father, Joe, traveled to Philadelphia to see what we are doing with our TRIO chapter here. They both offered fascinating stories of their decades of life dealing with her kidney transplants (two) and growing up to the young woman she is now.
