I have great news to report, as a member of the 1976 undefeated Rutgers football team, Nick Sauter, has successfully received a new kidney. We covered Nick’s search for a donor previously twice last year and thankfully 34 year old Robert Connizzo stepped up to help. When we last reported on Nick’s story, he was in stage 5 of his years long battle with kidney disease and had complications with a blood infection that required additional surgery. Fortunately the issue was resolved and with Robert’s help, Nick was able to receive a new kidney.
I spoke to Nick a few weeks ago to see how he was doing and also get some insight on his experience at Rutgers.
