A kidney transplant gave Mark the freedom to fly
Pediatric Transplant Center
When prune belly syndrome led to renal failure more than three decades ago, Mark received the ultimate gift from his sister: a new kidney. The kidney transplant gave him the freedom to avoid time-consuming dialysis, allowing him to take to the sky and become a pilot and flight instructor. To this day, he appreciates how his team at Boston Children’s Pediatric Transplant Center listened to his concerns and eased his fears.
