This is a story that truly warms our hearts! ❤️
In July 2023, Portland State soccer player Cameron Lane made an incredible, life-saving decision: she donated 70% of her liver to her mother, Jamie, who was battling polycystic liver and kidney disease. This transformative transplant took place at our University Health Transplant Institute – recognized by INTERLINK Health Services as the nation’s #1 liver transplant program for three years in a row!
Jamie's journey continued with our nationally recognized Champion for Life program, helping her find another living donor for a successful kidney transplant. Cameron's act of love created ripples far beyond the OR; she returned to college soccer, became a passionate advocate for liver health and even ran the 2025 Boston Marathon as the American Liver Foundation’s National LIVEr Champion, raising more than $10k.
These women’s stories illustrate that one selfless choice can truly change everything.
