Below is written by Mike. Please donate anything you can to help him through this difficult time:
Soo...a few months back I went to my primary Dr. and found out that my kidneys are failing . Currently I'm at 20% . Which is stage 5 . I'm not on dialysis at this point . But im sure its coming . I've had a biopsy done and they found lots scar tissue but fortunately , no cancer. I meet with the transplant team at John's Hopkins in May to see how this all plays out and how to move forward . This is all a shock to me and my family . I'm a pretty private person when it comes to Fam and myself . But this is something that I need to tell you all . And ask for your help . Which by the way I hate to do . The statistics for people with kidney disease is staggering . I believe it's something like 800,000 in the U.S alone . Ultimately , I need a kidney transplant .
And that's where all the people in my situation need your help . The gift of life .
I have a # for Hopkins if you feel like donating . I'm not 100% on how it all plays out . I know Dave Drell (Dubble D) has called and put it in motion on his end . I'm sure if you see him he could answer questions . In the meantime, I'm back at work and riding as much as I can . I need to stay active during all of this . I have lost a bunch of weight because of a restricted diet . Which has been a challenge in itself . I get tired easily , I'm more hangry than ever before and now and then i feel like total shit . I have good days and bad days . But everyday is a blessing . I'll try and keep ya posted here n there . Or if ya see me around ask as many questions as ya want and I'll try and have an answer.
Thanks, Mike.
