The Truth About Organ Donation | Dan Drew | TEDxWesleyanU

Organ donation is a mystery to many people. Mayor Daniel Drew tells the inspiring story of donating his kidney to a constituent who was ill with polycystic kidney disease and reveals the truth about what it's like to give a lifesaving organ to another person. This is the reality of live organ donation from someone who experienced it. Dan Drew is the third-term Mayor of Middletown, CT and has overseen an explosion in economic growth in Middletown since taking office in 2011. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
