Taryn Seymour greets her daughter, Audrey, 6, as she gets off a school bus, with her son, August, 2, and dog Pablo. They're at a former school building near Sauk City, where Seymour runs an interior design business. She was one of a record 28 people who donated kidneys this year at UW Hospital to strangers, without knowing anyone needing a kidney in return.
Taryn Seymour, an interior designer with two young children who lives near Spring Green, donated a kidney to a stranger this year. “I think the spirit of giving is contagious,” she said.
Adam Allison, who donated a kidney at UW Hospital in May to anyone who needed it, works at Epic Systems Corp. in Verona. "I encourage people to analyze themselves and think, 'Hey, does this make sense for me?'" he said of non-directed kidney donation.
