The Transplant Life Foundation team had a fantastic experience at the 2026 Patient Advocacy Leadership Summit powered by Biogen in Cambridge, MA. Across two days, we gained valuable insights from extraordinary patients and decades-long advocates in the transplant, immunology, and kidney disease spaces.

A huge thank you to our friends at Biogen for providing the opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate. We look forward to continuing our shared work and advocacy for the transplant community!

October is National Healthy Lung Month! 🫁✨

Every breath we take is a gift, but for thousands of people living with severe lung disease, each breath is a battle. For many on the waitlist, a healthy lung transplant is the ultimate gift of life and a second chance to breathe freely.

Protecting lung health starts with awareness and clean air, but saving lives also comes down to the power of organ donation. A single organ donor can save up to eight lives and give someone waiting for a transplant the ability to take a deep, clear breath again.

What is one habit you practice to keep your lungs healthy, or who are you honoring this month? Comment your thoughts below and share this post to help spread awareness about the life-saving impact of organ donation!

Every September 29th, World Heart Day brings the global community together to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and empower people everywhere to take control of their heart health. For our community at the Transplant Life Foundation, it is also a powerful reminder of the miracle of heart transplantation. ❤️

Today, we celebrate the strength of heart recipients, the dedication of cardiac care teams, and the selflessness of donor families who turn loss into hope. Let's spread awareness, choose heart-healthy habits, and keep hope beating strong! 🫀
