Mandie found her match! Earlier this month, Mandie received her life saving kidney transplant…you may remember seeing her face on billboards all around metro Atlanta last year.   Her family says those billboards raised awareness about Mandie’s battle and may have helped other patients, but Mandie’s aunt is the one credited with saving her life.  Catherine Gilleland was not a match for her niece, but she joined a transplant chain and was matched with a patient in Ohio, where a donor was matched to someone in Pennsylvania, and a donor there was matched to Mandie.  She had her transplant on Oct. 2, and is now recovering at home and looking forward to “enjoying simple things.”  Click here to read Mandie’s story and see what message is now being displayed on Atlanta billboards.
