  • "This is Kidney Disease... This is Life" - Episode 3 - Aron Eisenberg
    We had the chance to catch up with Aron while in Los Angeles back in June, if you're a Star Trek fan, you may know him as "Nog" in Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
    The Forever is Tomorrow Foundation is launching an ongoing web series that will highlight current patients, telling their story and how they have dealt with their kidney disease. With this series we set out to bring hope and inspiration to current patients as well as show that kidney disease does not discriminate in who it affects and it is a disease that is closer to everyone than they realize.
    Look for more episodes in the very near future and more to follow as we grow our resources to be able to focus more energy on filming and releasing greater amounts of content to raise awareness, educate the public and support current patients and their loved ones with inspiration and hope!
    The Forever is Tomorrow Foundation is setting out to raise awareness for kidney disease, while educating the public and giving patients a place for inspiration and hope in their fight with kidney disease.

    Aron, a grand adventure over now.
    Shaka when the walls fell.
    Your fans, those that loved you, their eyes wet.
    Aron, on the ocean.
    Aron, at rest.

      As much as I respect, love, and miss Aaron, do some research on hospitals letting organ donors die prematurely, when there is still hope for recovery. Quite a few whistleblowers have stepped forward. In the end, they are for profit corporations.

      @rakninja Před 3 lety +3

      despite how much good i could possibly do, i just cannot. already, there are bits of me left behind around the world. i just cannot condone even more bits of me out there, living on past the death of everything that makes up "myself" is gone.
      however, i would not be adverse to sharing bits of myself while i am still alive.
      perhaps it's the one aspect of myself i allow myself to be outright selfish in. i'll give it more thought, and see if i cannot get around this aversion. if aron's donor thought as i did, we wouldent have had a character that personally touched me as much as nog did.
      you see, i also joined the military. despite being in the combat arms, i am not the kind of person you generally associate with such service (not many computer nerd grunts, you know?) i also had a leg injury which put me into a deep depression. and to be honest, i've never really recovered from that depression.
      but, i'll think about becoming a donor. despite my aversions.

    Such an inteligent good guy. Nog was wonderful on DS9, that episode the siege at AR558 When nog lost his leg was intense for him, but he wanted so much to be proud of his starfleet uniform and tried to not show any weakness. In the end sadly he suffered with P.T.S.D, and vic fontain the hollow sweet character helped him so much to walk without his cane. He admitted in the end he was afraid. Really emotional piece for nog that was. Im so pleased the writers gave him some great material. I love the episode Treachery, faith and the great river, whare nog gets chief o brian the part for the Defiant by going round all different people trading things to get the part for the defiant in time. Using chief o brian's clearance code to get things. Brilliant episode that nog shined so bright. The great material continum, sadly missed aron, you will always be remembered through trek fans who know you from DS9, and new trek fans who watch DS9. Such a lovable character. Aron you were a good actor to. Lastly i will say R.I.P Aron Eisenburg, all the sailors on The Great River will sadly miss your great trading ability. In starfleet but still a ferengi. 👍.
