Talk about “giving a piece of yourself”! Public Relations Expert Heather Badenoch, Owner of Village PR, knows a thing or two about that. Not only does she adopt and rehabilitate rescue dogs, but Heather gave part of her liver to save a perfect stranger who was under the age of 18. Her liver quickly grew back to its pre-surgery size.Now Heather spends her time as a national champion for donation to encourage others to consider living donations, but also to register and tell your loved ones what you want done when you die.
