Jillian Best shares her inspiring journey from liver transplant recipient, to becoming a world record holding swimmer, the first transplant recipient to swim across Lake Ontario, and the founder of the Move For Life Foundation. A foundation devoted to reducing the wait times for transplant recipients.
It's really an unfortunate situation that we have in our province... there are very few people registered to become organ donors... and many people that support it. So there's a disconnect.
I do think about my organ donor every day, and his family... I realize how lucky I am.
I had just been through this crazy experience, and here I was back in the salon, people talking about how they want their hair to look... It just didn't feel right.
I will be honest. I want to win... I'm competitive.
It makes you realize... what we're capable of overcoming
Jillian Best is the founder of the Move For Life Foundation, which is devoted to reducing the wait times for transplant recipients. Along with her team their goal is to raise $250,000 towards their first initiative: bringing the newest approach in organ preservation to the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in London, Ontario.
Starting August 1, 2022, Jillian and the Move For Life team will be holding their 1,600kms relay across Ontario. The foundation also notes the number 1,600 is very important, as it represents the number of individuals currently waiting for an organ transplant in the province of Ontario.
