Bruce Altemus was “very fortunate to get a second chance at life” after receiving a donor liver at AHN Allegheny General. Determined to fulfill his post-transplant goal to complete a 5K, Bruce and members from his transplant team successfully finished the Pittsburgh Great Race 5K. To pay it forward to future patients, Bruce raised funds for a nonprofit called Hats Off to Ron that provides financial help to other AHN Allegheny General liver transplant recipients. Bruce recently presented a check for $1,510 to Joanne Vranesevic, who started the fund in memory of her husband, Ronald A. Jackson.
