To celebrate surviving both cancer and kidney failure, and to inspire others to give the gift of life, Jeff and Shari host an annual blood drive. Their goal is to encourage others to give back, just as Shari did when she donated her kidney to save her husband’s life.

In 2003, Jeff Weber was diagnosed with a low-grade form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was already living with a genetic form of kidney disease, which meant he could not receive chemotherapy. Instead, he underwent radiation and surgery. In 2010, the cancer returned. Shari was tested and found to be a match for a kidney donation. After receiving a healthy kidney from his wife in 2014, Jeff became eligible for chemotherapy and additional blood transfusions.

Shari and Jeff are now bonded in a way most couples are not. If you’re inspired by their story, please visit the link to read more and schedule your donation at their annual blood drive.
