Mr. Walter, You are an amazing person! Being a kidney donor myself I know what you have gone through and I also know that the reward is an outstanding feeling. Watching someone you care about go through dialysis and kidney disease is very difficult and making the decision to help is very personal. I have learned, with my experience, that helping another person is a reward like no other. You have a voice, sir! A voice that can be heard far and wide. Please use it to teach others that donors are needed. If I could be heard I would shout it to the rooftops and beyond! For every living donor there is a very appreciative, lucky, honored, and deserving recipient. There are so many waiting! You are a blessing and I salute you! You are very special! Thank you for your gift of life!

As a parent of a child with a kidney disease (Alports Syndrome), this touches my heart more than anyone will ever know, except for Kevin and his family. It is a scary feeling to know that one day your child will go through these added speed bumps in life, and that you as a parent, cannot change that. I am grateful that the two of you were led on this journey of life to be where you are today. God does know what he doing, even if we are unsure along the way. May God bless you both!

Baseball coach Tom Walter donated a kidney to one of his players, Kevin Jordan, on Monday, Feb. 7. Jordan began to feel ill in January 2010 as a freshman, and he was diagnosed with ANCA vasculitis, requiring dialysis for about 10 hours a day. When Jordan's family did not produce an ideal donor match, Walter volunteered.
