Marcus Needs a Lifesaving Kidney Transplant!

Marcus Jordan is only 52-years old, and he is desperately fighting for his life. In 2008, Marcus was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, a serious and often fatal cancer that develops in the lining of the renal tubules near the kidneys. As a result, Marcus underwent numerous chemotherapy treatments and required surgery to remove his kidney; unfortunately the cancer aggressively spread, and Marcus is now without both kidneys. In order to survive while he waits for new kidneys, Marcus undergoes extensive and life-sustaining hemodialysis treatments. These dialysis treatments are only temporary, and without a lifesaving kidney transplant in his near future, Marcus’s physicians have told him that both his time and options will sadly run out soon.

After extensive medical testing, Marcus has been listed for transplant at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He is anxiously waiting for the telephone call that will save his life, and seeking the gift-of-life through a living kidney donor. Marcus is a kind, loving and loyal friend who would go out of his way for anyone in need. He has spent his whole life active in his church and is highly committed to the Lord. He has a college degree in Theology from Holy Trinity College & Southern Episcopal Church of St. Petersburg, Florida. In 1985 Marcus was ordained and has faithfully helped families in need, performing more than 5000 hours of community service over the years and committing his life to the Lord.
