Drive for Five
Sifting through the heartwarming holiday cards received each year. Thanks. One really caught me eye. The sender's challenge within the card resonated deeply: "Let's keep developing a skill set for a better me and a mindset for a better we."Holy smokes. Can you imagine? What the world might transform into if EVERYBODY adopted such an attitude toward the new year? Personally, we improve knowing a better me leads to a better we? Let's give it a shot. Who knows, maybe it could be transforming for this troubled world.Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa! ... See MoreSee Less

Advocate


The Drive For Five Network is actively involved in advocacy to develop and pass smart legislative policies at the state and federal levels encouraging greater participation in live organ donation. There’s 90,000 Americans on waits lists but only about 27,000 deceased and live organ donors annually. And it’s getting worse. The DFF Network strongly advocates for modifying NOTA.

Inspire


The Drive for Five Network was birthed in Mark McIntosh’s weekly men’s fellowship group. When the bunch learned one of their members needed a kidney transplant, the fellas challenged McIntosh. “Given your communications skills and social media following? Go find 5,000!” The challenge was accepted.

The Missouri native and other DFF Network correspondents create content - writing and videos - designed to inspire Americans to “Share their spare, safe a life, leave a priceless legacy.” As managing editor of DFF, McIntosh writes a weekly column published Mondays extolling the need and benefits to live organ donation. America has a growing kidney crisis with far more citizens in need of organ transplants and dying while waiting on lists.
