Mario Gallo — Kidney Search Foundation

Who Am I?

I am a husband, father and grandfather. I proudly list the ages of my grandchildren, starting at age, 11, 7,6,6, and 1, as they are the highlight of my life and the reason I get up in the morning! I am outgoing and friendly and love social interactions, whether it's with family, friends or even strangers! You can always count on me as I'm reliable and dependable. I love life and my greatest wish is to continue living for all the big moments, but even the small ones too. We're a large, incredibly fun, loud and obnoxious family! Anyone willing to laugh and eat delicious Italian food is always welcomed to a seat at our family table. Thank you for stopping by to read a little about me and to learn a thing or two.

My Interests:

My interests include keeping my family happy and always laughing! I am a believer in the positive and taking things in stride. I love traveling and exploring with my family. Camping is a specific favorite as it allows me to experience the countryside and live life at a slower pace where I can connect with nature. Of course, a cruise with my beloved wife is always a good time where some fun in the sun is a vacation well spent.

My Diagnosis:

ESRD

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

A transplant will affect my life because it will allow me to continue to interact with my children and grandchildren in those grand moments, but also the small ones, that matter most. It will allow me to re-gain my energy to keep everyone around me laughing and positive. It will continue to give me and my wife all the opportunities to travel and experience our beautiful world and the life we've built together.
