Not many people would smile when showing off a scar that takes up most of your torso, but then again, you may not have met Sister Bay native Ben Anderson. He was on social media three years ago when he saw a story of an infant who needed a liver transplant. What stood out to Anderson is that you can be a living organ donor for someone you do not even know. He told his wishes to his parents and went through all of the testing necessary to become an organ donor. While he was not a match for the infant, he was for a three-year-old living in Upper Michigan. It has been three years since nearly a third of his liver was removed so Micah could lead a normal life, a decision that makes Anderson very proud.

Anderson and Micah chat on Facetime at least once a month, and they plan on meeting each other for the first time this summer. Over a dozen people stood outside Door County Medical Center for the raising of the Donate Life flag where Anderson spoke. April is National Donate Life Month, and you click this link to learn more about being a living organ donor.
