Team rallies for coach's life-saving kidney transplant

Bishop Canevin High School's baseball team is channeling their efforts off the field to support assistant coach Tim Jones, who requires a living kidney donor. Jones, who has a rare genetic disorder, is currently in stage 5 renal failure and needs a transplant.

The team organized a special initiative, wearing green jerseys on Thursday to signify kidney disease and transplant awareness. This occurred on the final day of Donate Life Month. Coach Jones expressed his gratitude for the team's efforts, noting it was heartwarming to be able to attend the game.

Ryan Astor, president of the team's booster organization, highlighted the team's close bond with Jones and their determination to spread awareness. He mentioned that the players enthusiastically embraced the idea of wearing green uniforms to support their coach.

Jones, who has missed some games due to recovery from an infection and other complications, emphasized the importance of living donation. He stated that finding a living donor would be the most beneficial outcome for his health, underscoring the profound impact such a gift can have.
