“My scars are my sign of love towards my father.” 💚
— Krishnakhi Das, living donor

For Krishnakhi, her scars carry a deeply personal meaning: a lasting reminder of the love behind her decision to donate.

Today, we celebrate her and the living donors in our community, honouring their generosity and the stories they carry.

Living Forward begins with embracing every part of who you are. 🧡

For donor Fabienne Jacquemin, it means choosing self-acceptance:

“‘I am’ means accepting myself as I truly am—with my strengths and my flaws.”

One question. Hundreds of voices. So many reasons to keep Living Forward. 🧡⚽

At TFWC 2026, we asked transplant recipients, donors, donor families and the wider transplant community: “What does Living Forward mean to you?”

Between heartfelt conversations, the Goal Challenge and personalized caps, there was plenty of laughter, connection and shared joy.

Over the next six months, we’ll be sharing these stories through our Living Forward series. Keep watching, there’s so much more to come! 🧡
