Ben Chan on Being a Living Kidney Donor, Racism, and Compassion Fatigue

In this episode of the Heromakers Podcast, Laurie and Ann talk with ultrarunner, IT guy, and justice pursuer Ben Chan on Black Lives Matter, what it's like to experience racism, how we can fight compassion fatigue, and why it was a no-brainer to offer his kidney to a friend in need of one.

We hope this episode encourages you to both keep fighting for those who face injustice as well as well dig deeper in yourself to discover what you really believe about those around you and how to do the hard work of self-reflection.

You can find Ben on IG @malerunner.

Heromakers can be found on IG @heromakersmovement and on FB @heromakersmovement.
