# Chris Klug Foundation

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead Advocacy Chris Klug Foundation Educate individuals to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors, and inspire those in the transplant community to live their best lives. The Chris Klug Foundation (CKF) was established in October 2003 by Olympic Bronze Medalist and liver transplant recipient, Chris Klug. Chris was 21 years old when he discovered he needed a transplant. He then spent 6 years on the transplant waitlist before receiving his transplant. Just 18 months later, he won a Bronze Medal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games. Chris started CKF to promote lifesaving organ, eye, and tissue donation, and work to improve the quality of life for those touched by transplantation. CKF uses the stories of organ donors, transplant candidates, and transplant recipients to inspire, alongside events, school courses, and podcasts to educate. All with the end goal of encouraging individuals to give the gift of life and register as organ donors. 110 E Hallam Street, Suite 119 110 E Hallam Street, Suite 119 , Aspen , CO 81611 About Us How To Help Join the crowd.
