Priest Raises Awareness as Organ Donations Spike in New York Following First Responder Deaths
Father Jim Cunningham was shocked to learn he had late stage kidney disease. One day he was healthy, the next day, doctors were telling him he needed a transplant - and fast. That’s when his friend, firefighter Pat Nash stepped up. Now, six years after their surgery, the two men are raising awareness together in the wake of the deaths of NYPD Officer Wilbert Mora and FDNY Firefighter Jesse Gerhard who donated their organs through LiveOnNY.
