Six months after donating her kidney, the daughter ran in the Akron Marathon.
CLEVELAND - An Ohio man says he wouldn’t be here today without his daughter.that he knew his kidneys were failing and that’s when his daughter, Angela Hissner, insisted on giving a kidney to him.
Datkuliak said he was diagnosed with stage 3 chronic kidney disease but after a round of tests, it was quickly determined that Hissner was the perfect match. “When they said we were a match, it was like, this is going to happen. We can do this,” Hissner said. In 2021, they went under the knife and soon after the surgery, Hissner said she was back on her feet, doing what she loved, running.“I wanted to prove to myself that you can donate a kidney and still go run a marathon,” Hissner said.
According to Hissner, she also raised more than $6,000 for a foundation for kidney donor athletes in honor of her father.And two years later not much has changed for the father and daughter.Copyright 2023 WOIO via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
