Wallace Green
Organ Donation

Wallace Green is a kidney recipient, LifeNet Ambassador and Founder of Health Awareness, Kidney Disease Prevention. When Wallace Green realized that the main causes for his kidney failure were a lack of knowledge, his choices in diet, and the type of medications prescribed -- he became a one-man champion for the cause of prevention. Wallace is determined to help others identify kidney disease at the early stage when it is still possible to slow down or stop the progression of this deadly disease. There are over 116,000 people waiting for for organ donation, with 96,000 waiting for a kidney. 

Governor Terry McAuliffe congratulated Wallace S Green, Sr. during a special ceremony at the Executive Mansion as the recipient of the 2017 Virginia's Governor's Volunteerism and Community Service Award for Outstanding Senior Volunteer.
