About Alexis Flynn

With the cost of a transplant often exceeding $500,000, many transplant patients are unable to shoulder the financial burden of such a procedure. The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-needy patients. In Fort Greely, volunteers are raising funds for transplant patients like local Alexis Flynn.

Born on November 15, 2005, Alexis was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease, and doctors at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, recommended a life-saving kidney transplant. An estimated $60,000 is being raised by Fort Greely volunteers.
