'The Organ Trail': Man plans trek across 4 states raising awareness for kidney donations

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Wisconsin man is riding his bike 1,200 miles across four states, all in an effort to raise awareness for living kidney donations. 

On Friday, June 7, Mark Scotch -- who calls his bike ride "The Organ Trail" -- stopped at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin to tout his ride. 

This is the fifth year Scotch has taken on the three-week trek. 

He says it's important for people to know you can still lead an active life after donating an organ. 

"There is a need, and that people can donate, you don't have to be a match anymore, they got ways to figure all that out and you can just donate if you wanna save someone's life and live a completely normal life after," Scotch said.
