My family will be walking in memory of my nephew, Chad Williamson. Chad was the recipient of 2 kidney transplants. Organ donation gave him the opportunity to live longer as he had kidney failure first at age 19. Chad passed away in December 2011 at the age of 37. Please commit to be an organ donor and give someone the hope of life.
