hope DAViS preStoN, Brookside, N.J., became a non-directed kidney donor<br />
this past spring. The surgery was done at Weill Cornell Transplant Center in<br />
New York City. Preston’s kidney donation started a kidney transplant chain<br />
that led to the wife of her kidney recipient donating a kidney to a person in<br />
California. The spouse of the California kidney recipient, in turn, donated a<br />
kidney to another person awaiting a transplant.
