Mary Ann had end-stage liver disease, for which the only cure was a liver transplant.

After Mary Ann's death, Mary Ann was placed on the national waiting list for a suitable organ.

By donating a portion of her liver, someone was able to move up the waiting list for a deceased donor liver.

Mary Ann , the beneficiary of her friend’s special gift, fervently hopes that her story will inspire others to become living donors.
