Today we’re introducing you to Kidney Donor Athlete, Matt! ⭐️ “I didn’t feel heroic or extraordinary. I wasn’t seeking a story. But I did believe that when someone in your family is in need, you show up. That’s what love and responsibility look like in action. As I moved through the testing process, I expected to be disqualified at some point. Instead, the opposite happened. The medical team told me I was a near-perfect match, almost as close as a biological relative. That sealed the decision for me: I would donate. … Donating a kidney didn’t slow me down- it launched me forward. It made me more mindful of my health, more aware of my body’s needs, and more grateful for every mile I get to run, swim, or ride. I pay more attention now to hydration and recovery. I schedule regular labs and check-ups to keep tabs on my kidney function. But I don’t feel limited. If anything, I feel more alive than ever.” You can read the rest of Matt’s story by clicking the link. Thanks for being a part of our community, Matt! We’re so glad you’re here! https://kidneydonorathlete.org/2025/05/21/matt-2/ ✨ #kidneydonorathlete #kdacommunity #kidneydonor #onekidneyrunner #onekidneytriathlete #livingdonor (fb)
