- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I received a double kidney/Pancreas trx in 1990. Have been acrtive with
transplant atheletics isnce 1992. Lost both trx organs in 1997 while
competing in Austrailia. Received a kindey from my brother Randy (who ran track and CC for LSU) in 1998, and is still functioning. Received a second Pancreas from a cadaveric donor named Summer Gordon, whom
i was eventually able to find and now consider her family part on my own.
Lost the second pancreas around ~2003. Am still active in Transplant atheletics and in helping run High School Track and Field meets.
Have completed in each US game since 1992 except 2002, competed
in each World ames since 1997 except 2001, and each Canadian National games since 2000. I love to run and thank god each day for
my transplant which allows me to do this!

We are packing the car and the cheering section! If you have time and bump into Emily during practice, would you be able to show her how to use starting blocks? She is thinking about running the 100.

It's Emily's senile dad! Team MD doesn't have many male tracksters, so it's ok for us to cheer you on!
