This now 16 year old, was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at just 6 years of age. Growing up an active child and youth the family knew that a kidney transplant would be in her near future. For the next several years she lived her life to the fullest when she found her passion for football. Since there was no girls league for tackle football, at 12 she joined the boys league where she loved to play defensive back, line back, and receiver. She lived for football but at 13 years old her kidney function for both kidneys were now so compromised that they needed to find her a live donor for a pre-emptive transplant before it was too late. After finding an amazing donor through their friends and family on social media and numerous post transplant complications this teen is now on the road to recovery.

Though this brave teen will never be able to play contact sports again due to her organ transplant, Alberta Dreams can’t wait to to make her dream to see an NFL football game in person come true with a family trip to Miami to see the Dolphins play at the Hardrock Stadium.
