Jean Crawford

Multi-Organ Transplant Patient

In 2006, Jean Crawford underwent a multi-organ transplantation surgery and has since been living with six transplanted organs. Since this life-changing surgery, she has become an Ambassador for the United Network for Organ Sharing, as well as for her own state’s procurement agency Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates. She has also spent years volunteering for Kentucky’s Trust For Life -a Kentucky Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation Awareness program whose goal is to register new donors for those on the waiting list. Jean, a retired educator, has also volunteered for Kentucky’s educational program “Life is Cool! She started a non-profit to raise tens of thousands of dollars for Kentucky’s transplant children and their families, by giving all funds raised to The Satterwhite Fund in Kentucky. Jean has also twice participated in the United States Transplant Olympic Games to honor donor families and educate the public about donor transplantation. With a passion to tell her story, Ms. Crawford spends her time inspiring people and explaining the importance of registering as an organ, eye, and tissue donor, so that others may receive the same second chance at life that she was offered. Jean is also the member of a donor family, so she has great perspective from the point of receiving a transplant, as well as the perspective from the point of a family giving the gifts of life.

Doug Lindsay

“The Man Who Invented a Surgery to Cure Himself”
Founder, Doug Says

Doug Lindsay got sick at age 21 with a rare autonomic-adrenal condition. He spent the next 11 years home- and bed-bound until he figured out what was wrong, developed novel treatments to keep his condition at bay, and eventually developed the innovative surgery used to fix him. During his 14-year medical journey, he worked with 35 senior faculty at 28 institutions, developed new uses for five existing prescription drugs, won a first national court case protecting patients’ rights, and developed the concept for the two successful, innovative adrenal surgeries used to treat his case. Once he recovered his health, Mr. Lindsay returned to Rockhurst University and finished his biology degree. Now, Mr. Lindsay is a nationally recognized speaker on the role of hope and character in innovation and life. Mr. Lindsay also provides in-depth personal medical consulting services to a small number of rare disease and complex condition patients who’ve found themselves trapped in the medical system.

Larry Hester

Recipient of the Argus II Bionic Eye

Larry Hester was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa when he was in his early 30s. The degenerative disease blinds patients, and at the time of his diagnosis, there were no known treatments. Mr. Hester is one of several people in the United States to have a bionic eye – an Argus II Retinal Prosthesis Device. The implanted device sends light signals to his brain, allowing him to see for the first time in 33 years. Mr. Hester is eager to provide researchers with information they can use to further enhance the technology so that future generations of patients will benefit from his pioneering effort.
