Journalist Janet Murnaghan is author of Saving Sarah: One Mother's Battle Against the Health Care System to Save Her Daughter's Life. Ms. Murnaghan’s young daughter desperately needed a set of donor lungs. A set of lungs was available and there was nothing standing in the way medically, but a federal policy barred children under the age of 12 from receiving adult lungs. Ms. Murnaghan talked about her quest to save Sarah and other kids in similar situations. After a court fight and through the use of social media, she eventually convinced the government to change organ donation rules permanently.
