WATCH NOW: Kidney donor and recipient celebrate and raise awareness at 5K in Greensboro

“It just feels so good,” she said. “It’s just amazing.”
About four months ago, Flores-Ballesteros donated one of her kidneys to John Brown.
Both are educators, and Brown is the spouse of Flores-Ballesteros’s friend and school district colleague Patrice Brown, the principal of Western Guilford Middle School.
On Sunday they and their spouses and other family and friends participated together in the 5K event.
They wanted to raise awareness about organ donation for everyone, but also especially for people of color. Brown is Black, and Flores-Ballesteros is Hispanic.
Organizers of the race helped them out. Anyone who registered for the Pig Pounder event was given the option to donate money to support organ donation as part of the online registration process. They also sold T-shirts designed by Flores-Ballesteros’ husband Jorge Ballesteros.
