19th Annual Chris Mudge Pediatric Transplant Picnic Marin Profiled in Marin IJ & UCSF News

"Dr. Phil Rosenthal looked around at the gaggles of happy kids playing together at the 19th annual Chris Mudge UCSF Pediatric Transplant Picnic at McNears Beach Park in San Rafael on Saturday and issued a challenge:

'I defy you to tell me who has a transplant and who doesn't have a transplant," he said. "You can't tell just by looking, and that's the whole idea of it.' "

The annual picnic was held at McNears Beach in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, August 23, 2014. About 350 attendees joined in the celebration of children who are patients in the transplant program, along with their families. Attendees were treated to music, dancing, kayaking, face-painting, piñatas, bubbles, and more. Food and drinks were provided by UCSF, with potluck dishes provided by the guests. (quoted excerpts above from Marin IJ)
