Why Has Tactical Fitness Austin Chosen DOVE to support this Memorial Day?

TTAG’S Jon Wayne Taylor, a Tactical Fitness Austin instructor and a combat vet/medic, donated his kidney in October, 2020 at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. This helped set up a chain of transplants that ultimately led to fellow Veteran Chief Bennie undergoing transplant in April 2021 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

What is DOVE?

DOVE acts as the veterans’ donor champion by identifying, screening, and educating prospective donors and matching them to Veterans in need. Enabling potential donors to personalize their life-saving gift—direct donation to Veterans—taps into a pool of donors that may otherwise have never considered donation.

DOVE’s goal is to find, educate, screen and support prospective living donors and then match those donors to a Veteran awaiting transplant. We promote living kidney donation through nationwide campaigns and outreach events with the aim to create a living donor registry of prospective donors.

​DOVE also provides individualized support to any eligible veteran who is actively listed for a kidney transplant at any US Transplant Center in creating an outreach campaign within their networks and community.”

  1. In Austin support Dove transplants for vets at the memorial day ruck this Monday. The Dove transplants are so expensive in Austin. For us, Memorial Day is a significant day. It is crucial that we remember the members of our military who have died or suffered grave injuries while serving. That’s why I support these Dove Kidney transplants. But now I am busy making a dissertation like that best dissertation help online for my education. This post is really like it.
