Excerpt from WHIO
Saturday night the Wright State Raiders defeated the Robert Morris Colonials, but the win wasn’t the only thing being celebrated in the Nutter Center.
One man whose organs saved multiple lives, and another, whose life was saved by an organ donation were honored tonight.
In the first half, Brandon Hay’s family walked out on the court to be recognized.
Hays is a two-time kidney transplant recipient and joined the university’s staff as an associate athletic director last year.
He has a rare condition called IgA Nephropathy which affects his kidneys.
“I think I’m literally one in a million,” Hays told News Center 7′s Kayla McDermott.
His first donation came from his dad giving him one of his, but the second donation came from a deceased 16-year-old he never met.
