I’m reaching out today because I’m in urgent need of a living kidney donor to save my life.

The most important people in my life are my wonderful wife, Tracey, and my children and their spouses. We’re blessed with 19 amazing grandchildren who bring so much joy to our lives. My extended family has been incredibly supportive, with several of them stepping forward to be tested, but unfortunately, we have not yet found a match. I’m also grateful for the love and friendship of our church community, neighborhood, and the many friends I’ve made over the years. After coaching wrestling for 36 years in Utah, I’ve had the honor of building lasting relationships with so many students and athletes, all of whom mean the world to me.

My kidney disease has taken a huge toll on my life. One of the hardest parts has been losing the ability to do the things I love. My energy has diminished as my kidney function declines, and I’m cold all the time. My illness has kept me from traveling and spending time with my family the way I had always hoped to in my retirement. It breaks my heart that I can’t fully enjoy those moments with my wife and kids.

If I were to receive a new kidney, my life would be transformed. I’d finally be able to travel and spend quality time with my loved ones, doing the things I’ve longed to do. I’d have the energy to live life fully again and enjoy the activities that bring me happiness. The simple things, like feeling warm and energized, would be such a blessing.

I have faced kidney disease for many years, and I urgently need to find a suitable living kidney donor to save my life. Admitting this need has been incredibly difficult for me, but my situation is dire. My kidney disease is progressing quickly, and I’m battling severe health issues every day. The waitlist for a deceased donor kidney is long, with over 100,000 individuals waiting, and the wait could be more than five years. Unfortunately, I don’t have that much time.

When I found out I made it on the transplant waitlist, I was incredibly happy. With a new kidney, I’d be able to spend more time with my family and travel with them around the world, making new memories. Being on the waitlist for a deceased kidney transplant doesn’t promise a swift procedure. Many of us, like myself, face waits of 5 years or more. It’s a challenging journey with kidney disease, and so much can unfold during this time. That’s why I’m sharing my journey. I hope to connect with a living kidney donor who’s moved by my story and chooses to give me the gift of life. Your support matters—please SHARE this post and visit my website to learn more.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart – your generosity means more than words can describe.
