Youth sport is part of an ideal childhood, and nearly everyone—from the federal government to parents—encourages children to take part. Driven by the promise of better physical and mental health, better educational outcomes, and a better society, tens of millions of kids across the USA participate in this form of organized play. Yet, most children who enter youth sport quit by the time they reach adolescence, often due to injury or abuse, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens. In MORE THAN PLAY: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport, Dionne Koller, Director of the Center for Sport and the Law at the University of Baltimore, where she also serves as a law professor, delves into why youth sport has become all-consuming, costly, and, in too many cases, detrimental to boys and girls. Next we talk with Tracy Ide who has an incredible story of her mother and the gift of life she received twice from organ donors. She received both a heart and kidney transplant. Today more than 3,000 Georgians could benefit from organ or tissue transplantation. more than half of Georgians on the waiting list for a kidney transplant are African American.

Episode Summary In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Gretchen Starnes, Family Aftercare Manager with Network for Hope (Louisville), an organization that also supports families after the loss of a loved one through organ donation. Gretchen shares the deeply human side of her work—walking with families through the grief process, offering comfort, connection, and compassion in the wake of profound loss. We explore how the gift of life through donation can bring a measure of hope to unimaginable sorrow, and how Gretchen and her team help families navigate that journey with care and grace. ✨ Episode Highlights Gretchen Starnes discusses her role as a Family Aftercare Manager at Network for Hope. She describes the Aftercare Department's mission to support donor families and ensure their needs are met with compassion and understanding. Gretchen shares her personal journey, beginning as a Family Support Worker and transitioning to Aftercare, highlighting the critical role of empathy in her work. She reflects on working with grief and the full spectrum of emotions that come with it, reminding us: “There's nothing wrong with you when you're grieving.” Andi asks Gretchen about the myths and misconceptions surrounding grief and bereavement support. Gretchen explains that support systems often fade after the first year of loss and shares her experience that, for many, the second year is even harder. The organization offers 15 months of ongoing support through mailings, in-person meetings, and online resources. Families find healing and comfort in sharing stories, memories, and legacies of their loved ones. Donor families play a vital role in encouraging and supporting newly bereaved families through direct connections. Gretchen talks about the emotional challenges donor families face when reaching out to donor recipients and how the organization offers guidance through that process. They reflect on the powerful impact of the Holiday Honor Walk, which brings donor families together to foster connection, support, and healing. Gretchen emphasizes the importance of saving lives through organ donation and the value of being surrounded by a strong, supportive community. She also highlights the importance of self-care, a healthy team environment, and emotional support to navigate the difficulties inherent in this deeply meaningful work.

This Week on The Heart of Giving Podcast, Rick Lofgren, CEO of COTA (Children's Organ Transplant Association), reveals how his organization helps families navigate the overwhelming financial challenges of organ transplants. Three compelling moments: "Every day in the United States, about 18 people pass away waiting for that life-saving transplant that never comes. And so our goal is to make sure that money is not the issue that keeps that from happening." "This past year we helped 244 new families and our goal is to reach 300 new families in every year within the next five years. When I started 26 years ago, we helped 31 families that first year." "Their daughter had a liver transplant in Pittsburgh eight years ago... that first year they had billions of over $2 million for her liver transplant." - On the staggering costs families face.

In this episode of "Redefining Family," we wrap up Season Three with a heartfelt reflection on my personal journey and the experiences I've had with my father during his recent hospitalization. I share the emotional rollercoaster of reconnecting with my dad, navigating complex family dynamics, and finding closure in our relationship. The episode begins with my recounting of the unexpected turn of events leading to my father's hospital stay and the mixed emotions I felt when interacting with my stepmom and brother. Despite the challenges, I cherish the moments spent with my dad, watching movies and reminiscing about our shared past.As we transition into the main segment of the episode, I am thrilled to welcome Zara Hilliard, a remarkable black LGBTQ surrogate who has been passionate about surrogacy since childhood. Zara shares her unique journey, from her early awareness of her identity as a lesbian to her experiences as a surrogate mother. We delve into her motivations for becoming a surrogate, including the personal loss her family faced and her desire to help others build their families.Zara discusses her own parenting journey, her relationship with her fiancée, and their plans for reciprocal IVF after her current surrogacy. We explore the intricacies of the surrogacy process, including the emotional and legal aspects, the importance of mental preparedness, and the supportive relationships she has built with the intended parents. Zara emphasizes the significance of connection and mutual respect in surrogacy, sharing her positive experiences and the joy of being part of a family's journey.Throughout our conversation, Zara's passion for surrogacy shines through, and she encourages other women to consider this path if they feel called to it. She reflects on the impact her middle school teacher had on her decision to pursue surrogacy and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to help others.As we conclude the episode, I express my excitement for the upcoming Season Four and wish our listeners happy holidays and a joyful new year. This episode is a beautiful blend of personal reflection and inspiring stories, highlighting the power of family, love, and the incredible journey of surrogacy.

Episode Highlights: Dorrie Dils, president and CEO of Gift Of Life Michigan and the new president of the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, shares her experience in her inaugural year as president.  Dorrie shares that she has been in this field for 33 years, and there's been tremendous pressure from Congress, the White House, and outside entities to drive donation forward. There have been concerns due to change in metrics which may cause a rise in decertified OPO's and what that will do for patients who are waiting and for donors and donor families who wish to donate.  There has been a lot of change but Dorrie shares that she feels better today than ever before. Dorrie shares that the other big thing, which can't be denied, is just the massive increase in donations after circulatory death or ECD. Andi asked Dorrie what other positions she has worked in the OPO, Andi wanted to take a minute to have Dorrie share, as a woman in this field, what she did to reach her position of leadership today. Dorrie shares that she was in Critical Care Nursing, then a Donation Coordinator, and at times needed to be in hospital development, PR and Public Education.  Leadership opportunities led her to becoming procurement director then Chief Clinical Officer, before becoming the president, and CEO. Dorrie talks about her speech and what motivated her to talk about correlating the Barbie Movie (2023) and the need to be perfect in the transplant world.   3 Key Points: President and CEO of the Gift Of Life Michigan and the new president of the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, Dorrie Dils shares her experience in her inaugural year of presidency, and the challenges due to changes.
