He represented LiveOnNY at the 2018 Transplant Games in Salt Lake City and the 2020 Transplant Games in Meadowlands, NJ.
Ken draws on his faith and spirituality to support others in managing chronic diseases. His contributions span various causes, including HIV/AIDS prevention, vocational rehabilitation as a recipient and trainer, and raising awareness for cancer and diabetes. With his personal connection to CKD, Ken uses his computer skills to promote awareness on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X. He strongly believes that empowering people to participate in their own care can change the course of their health.
Ken has spent much of his life assisting others in their time of need. Will you join us in our mission to find a kidney for Ken? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life and the lives of those he strives to help!
Ken has enlisted the help of a Veteran's organization called DOVE Transplant which is helping in his outreach to find his life-saving kidney donor. DOVE will assist all prospective donors throughout the process and make sure they do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to the evaluation or surgery.
A healthy person can live a normal life with one kidney and save this Veteran's life! Please click on the link below if you would like to learn more OR call (551) 233-1611.
