Let's Talk Hope Podcast
This is the latest effort in a series of groundbreaking steps by Gift of Hope to address the myths and barriers in an effort to build donation as the social norm.
The podcast is co-hosted by Marion Shuck, a 15-year veteran in the field of organ and tissue donation and a donor family member herself following the passing of her husband, Reggie. Marion will share her expertise and experiences gained working with donor families, volunteers and community partners. She is joined by co-host Lauren Plavnick.
Each episode of Let’s Talk Hope will share donor and recipient stories; discuss the donation process with field experts; and provide listeners with ways to get involved!
In the first episode, Lauren and Marion will be joined by Gift of Hope CEO Dr. Harry Wilkins to discuss how the organization carries out its mission to save and enhance the lives of as many people as possible through organ and tissue donation. In addition, listeners will hear a poignant story of donation from Heather Runyan, a donor wife.
Everybody is invited to join the Launch Party on Thursday, April 22, at 6 p.m. You can register here: Let's Talk Hope Podcast LIVE Virtual Launch Party Tickets, Thu, Apr 22, 2021 at 6:00 PM | Eventbrite
