Who Am I?

My name is Shawn, I am a 56 year old in need of a kidney transplant. I have had type 1 diabetes since age 12. In 1999, I received a kidney transplant, they told me then that I’d need another transplant in 10-15 years. This kidney has lasted 25 years!!! I am a husband of 31 years, a father of two amazing boys. I am also an uncle to 2 nephews and 5 nieces, and a godfather to the most amazing girl. I was born in Illinois, but consider Florida my home, as I’ve lived here since age 3.

My Interests:

I love fishing, and anything to do with outdoors. I was involved in youth sports until my boys were grown and then I volunteered to keep the high school football field in top shape until my health worsened. I’m a fur dad to 2 crazy dogs.

My Diagnosis:

End Stage Renal Disease secondary to diabetes type 1.

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

I can’t wait to feel well enough to take my son’s boat out fishing with him. We have rebuilt it from the trailer up. I will be able to spend more time with friends and family, and be more involved in my church.

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

I have been volunteering for Pop Warner football, little league, and high school football teams since 1994.

My Blood Type: O
