Please Spread the Word

[Dan]

I’ve not kept it secret that I suffer from polycystic kidney disease. It has progressed to the point that my care team has placed me on the transplant list. A living donor is the best chance I’ve got to continue living an active and relatively healthy life. I would appreciate help in spreading the word on social media as I do not have Facebook, Twitter/Bluesky, Instagram, etc. Here is a message with the relevant information (the critical info being the link and my name):

My friend’s inherited kidney condition has progressed faster than anticipated, so at the age of 35 his care team has recommended a kidney transplant. A living donor is his best chance to continue a healthy and active life. If you know anyone who may be willing to donate please direct them to https://livingdonorreg.upmc.com/ and ask that they specify Daniel Walker as the recipient. Blood type does not matter, only a willingness to give. Please share this post!

Thank you!

oh my gosh, Dan! I’m so sorry to hear! I just had a neighbor and friend ask for the same sharing! I hope you both can find matches!

[Matt Redfield]

Shared. Hope things work out for you, and soon, buddy!

[Dan]

Thank you for your support. It’s not a surprise, but progressed quicker than expected.

@randomdan I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you find a match quickly.

My wife works with nephrologists across the country and we have some great ones here in Pittsburgh. Praying for a quick and successful match for you, Dan.

Sorry to hear this Dan. My dad was a nephrologist – hearing and sharing this information has really evoked an emotional response.

Thank you all, I appreciate your support! It’s a tough time, but I’ve been blessed to have great friends and be part of many supportive communities. Sharing my message is a powerful way to help.
