Stories of Hope
Bryan
In December 2021, Bryan’s life was put on hold when he was diagnosed with chronic liver disease. After 12 surgeries and two challenging years, he received a liver transplant in December 2023, a true gift of life. Since his transplant, Bryan has poured himself into recovery, putting in over 1,000 miles of walking to rebuild his strength and find joy in movement again. He was able to retire as Middle School Principal in Littleton at the end of the 2024-2025 school year. He feels endless gratitude toward his donor and their family, his loved ones, and the amazing medical team who supported him every step of the way. He now shares his story and encourages people to check the box ‘yes’ to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor. “It’s a simple decision for you and life-changing for our community,” Bryan said. “You have the power to transforms the lives of others, just as my donor has transformed mine.”
