After a critical injury while preparing for a training drill, FDNY firefighter William (Billy) Moon succumbed to his injuries and passed away at the age of forty-seven. His wife, Kristina, carried out Billy’s wishes to donate his organs to help others. In this podcast, Kristina discusses Billy’s legacy and the transformative gift of being an organ donor. Her story increases awareness and education about the need for organ donors among first responders. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the Knox Company collaborated in the development of Expand Your Legacy – Become a Living Kidney Donor,a campaign that includes a powerful four-part video series with a segment featuring Kristina Moon. The video series firehero.org/2023/08/16/living-kidney-donors/ includes stories of two firefighters that received a kidney from a live donor within their fire department family, along with the story of Knox CEO Joni Trempala, and her journey as she waits for a kidney donor.
