Tyler, bone recipient

Since his bone transplant, Tyler is playing with a handicap. At the moment, it’s about a nine. Tyler has moved on from the bone cancer and the tissue transplant that followed. Today he enjoys everything that other kids his age do – especially golf. Tyler seldom thinks about the bone transplant that saved his leg. He simply doesn’t have time. That’s possible because someone like you made the decision and signed-up to be an organ and tissue donor.

“I’m a normal teenager again. Nobody would even know I had a bone transplant if I don’t show them my scar. Sometime I even tell the girls I got my scars from a shark bite. They love that.”
