More than 104,000 people are now on transplant waiting lists, with another person added every 10 minutes, and 17 people dying each day while waiting for an organ transplant. Thus, gifts to this fund, which supports research in the Transplant Surgery Section of the Department of Surgery at IU School of Medicine, are truly vital—helping patients live longer and with a better quality of life.
