Wisconsin man searching for live kidney donor

Wisconsin man searching for live kidney donor

BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 09: Consultant Surgeon Andrew Ready prepares to conduct a live donor kidney transplant at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham on June 9, 2006, Birmingham, England. Kidney failure patient Carol Playfair was given the chance of life when her sister Tracey Playfair offered one of her own perfect kidneys to help save the life of Carol. The operation at The QE Hospital, part of The University Hospital's Trust was one of 1500 live donor transplants carried out in the United Kingdon every year. Despite the introduction of Donor Cards, there are still too few kidneys available to help all those who require a transplant, thereby producing a waiting list and the only chance of survival is by live donor. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

Eric Warnke was in perfect health. He was a three sport athlete in high school and was on track to join the military after he graduated.

But when he went to take the tests required to enter into the military, doctors started to notice something was wrong.

Flash forward to November of 2021, and his condition was starting to deteriorate. So he got some more tests done, only to find out that he was in kidney failure.

Now, Eric is searching for a live kidney donor. He says the best way to help is to register through the donor exchange program.

To hear Eric’s story, and to learn how you can help, listen to the piece in the player at the top of the page.
