Ron is a beloved music educator and father who was thriving on in-center dialysis before receiving a kidney transplant in 2018—from his daughter. Ron was on the transplant waiting list for several years. His daughter, Candice, decided to get tested and found out she was a perfect donor match. The transplant was a success, and both father and daughter are thrilled with the outcome.
