As you may remember, last year Jenna's donor Patrice ran the Boston Marathon 3 months to the day after donating her kidney. She came in the top 12%.
Well, she's kept up her training and she just ran the the 25th Annual Traverse City State Bank Bayshore Marathon in Michigan yesterday.
The results are.... FIRST PLACE in Females 45 to 49 -- and 199th overall out of 1280 runners!
What a woman! Congratulations Patrice!!

Looks like the kidney is working very well. Some muscles and nerves wear out like those victims that had Polio. I don't think there is a way to wear out a kidney, only if the body starts to reject the kidney if it is badly matched.

I don't think there is any philosophy yet about donated organs. Though it is good to believe that donated organs from people who died helps keep their spirits alive.
