Volunteering with the Legacy Donor Foundation has been an honor, as I am passionate about raising awareness for organ donation. It saved my grandfather’s life, and I am incredibly grateful for the extra 14 years (and counting!) we’ve had together. He is one of my favorite people—an inspiration and the funniest person I know.
