Video: Employer asks 23,000 employees to consider donating to a co-worker.

At an early age Jolinda Conzemius was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). PKD is a genetic disorder that has been in Jolinda’s family for generations. At the age of 43, her doctors referred her to the Mayo Clinic’s kidney transplant program in Rochester, Minn. After testing friends and family without a match, doctors told her that it could take up to five years to find a donor. She didn’t know if she had five years to wait. Jolinda’s employer, Lifetouch, a photography company based in Eden Prairie, Minn., put out the call for donors to their 23,000 employees. The results of that call will touch your heart. Join us for this amazing story of hope, gratitude and generosity of spirit.
