Big Update

Hey everyone! It’s been a long time since we updated last, but we really didn’t have anything solid to announce… until now… and even still we are afraid of jinxing anything, so we will keep this quick & vague…

Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon at Fenway Park (August 2013)
Tonight a dear friend of Scott’s will be flying into Boston to be at Brigham & Women’s tomorrow for orientation & his final tests to see if he is a kidney match for Scott. We have not made it this far yet (my amazing friend who found out she has a health issue found out right before this final step)… so it is VERY exciting! We’re trying to stay realistic and grounded though, as we have experienced other “speed bumps” along the journey and understand that it will all work out the way it needs to…

Another big-hearted friend told me she was the closest match via markers, but her kidney is too small to donate to Scott (she is itty-bitty). So being inspired by Super Scotty's story, she said she will donate to a child if she can’t donate to an adult. How incredible is that?!? 

Please pray, send positive vibes, and high-vibe energy out tomorrow that he will be a match. We do not know how many matching markers he has, but they obviously feel he would make a good candidate to have him come out for the final tests. We are also not sure when we’ll know (everything we do know is only what the potential donors tell us) but we hope the next time we write an update to you all… it’s going to be amazing news!

Lastly, there are so many of you who have sent messages to both my personal and A Kidney For Scott FB pages checking in or sending support and I owe a lot of you responses right now… but I want you to know that we appreciate each and every one of you and I will be in touch as soon as I can!

We are so very thankful for your love & support throughout this journey!
