Welcome to LifeLINES, the inaugural magazine published by Gift of Life Michigan. We’re thrilled to expand the popular digital version of LifeLINES to a magazine format once a year as a report to the donation and transplant community and also as a way to reach new readers.
The organization’s premier publication about organ and tissue donation in Michigan seeks to inform, inspire and educate. We’ve done all of those things in the pages you’re about
to read. Our cover story about Tristan Johnson and his struggle with kidney failure as a star athlete will give you a glimpse of what it’s like to juggle life-threatening illness and your dreams. We’re proud to report about broken records for organ and tissue donation in Michigan last year and help folks new to donation understand why they aren’t too old, and they aren’t too sick. We’ll also tell you how some Michigan donors are aiding researchers on their quest to solve debilitating mysteries of the brain. We’re excited and hope you are, too. LifeLINES will publish digitally this summer and again in the fall before we bring you another magazine next April, during National Donate Life Month. If you would like to join our mailing list, please go to golm.org/mailinglist . I also encourage you to reach out with questions or story ideas to media@golm.org .
Be well,
