While loading lumber into his truck at the hardware store, Carson City local, Kevin Leid, suddenly became short of breath and experienced blurred vision. That day in August 2020 changed his life and within five months, he needed oxygen tanks to breathe. Leid eventually received a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a long-term lung disease that was genetic in his case. He needed a double lung transplant to live. Donor Network West is a nonprofit organization that works with transplant centers and hospitals to coordinate the transplantation of life-saving organs throughout northern Nevada and northern California.
