TEDx Talks: Take My Kidney…Please
Some folks talk about generosity. Dan Howell lived it out, gallon jug of chilled urine and all. In his TEDx Omaha talk, Dan tells the whole story of becoming a living kidney donor at fifty-eight: the awkward lab tests, the six sleepless nights of doubt, and the moment his mother's voice settled it for good. It's funny. It's honest. And it just might be the nudge you need to think about donation yourself.
