Last Saturday, THE POWER OF TWO film crew gathered for our final production meeting before setting off to the 2010 National Kidney Foundation U.S. Transplant Games! As we depart for Madison in just a few days, there’s no better time to meet Team NorCal with our third flush of exclusive athlete profiles (see the full Team NorCal series here). For those of you attending the Games, we also invite you to stop by our PowerStudio to record your own transplant miracle in a 2 minute Video-Gram! RSVP to our Video-Grams Facebook event and please share the invitation with friends and family. As Ana & Isa explained during Saturday’s production meeting, “you will be forever changed after the Transplant Games.” We look forward to meeting you there!
And now, Team NorCal:
