My dad would be 71 today. He was an amazing man who never missed a St X basketball game during my time as head coach. I owe so much to him and miss him everyday. Happy Birthday dad! 🙏

Katherine was diagnosed with biliary atresia soon after birth & needed a liver transplant. Without a viable transplant option, it was determined that her mother was a good living-related donor match. Read how she gave Katherine the gift of life twice!
