Colin's Story

Colin  |  Two-time Liver Recipient

As a father of two energetic children with a blossoming medical career and a loving marriage with his wife, Alisabeth, anyone looking at Colin would never know that he was once in desperate need of a lifesaving liver transplant.

After a routine medical exam in his twenties, Colin found out that he had a rare liver ailment known as Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. Five years after his initial diagnosis, Colin was placed on the waiting list and received a liver transplant. However, less than a month after his transplant it was evident he would need a second transplant.  He received another liver transplant in May of 1998. This transplant saved his life and today Colin is active and healthy.

Colin now volunteers with the Donor Alliance as a living testament to the importance of organ and tissue donation. “Thanks to my donors, I’ve been given two chances at life,” Colin said.
