Throughout my life, I’ve been blessed by opportunities to be able to reach my goals. Whether a National Championship with my beloved Buckeyes or Rookie of the Year with the Green Bay Packers, I have been rewarded with great success. Certainly my kidney transplant of November 28, 2001 can be added to the list.

For me, as for other kidney recipients, it made the difference between a difficult life on dialysis and the normal life I now live.

Since I left the Packers, no effort has been as satisfying and important to me as the work of my foundation. The ESPN piece below tells you how became involved in the cause. Since 2002, we have been providing help and hope to those impacted by kidney disease.  Our free screenings and classes educate, our food vouchers sustain patients on dialysis, and our donor registration drives seek to reduce the wait for all organs.

Run Hard,

John Brockington
