Former NBA player Scot Pollard expresses gratitude and plans to campaign for organ donation following his life-saving heart transplant.

Pollard was discharged from Vanderbilt University Medical Center 13 days post-transplant, expressing immense relief and improvement in his health.
The search for a compatible heart was challenging due to Pollard's size, but a suitable donor was found, saving his life.
