Coaching Through Kidney Failure, One Man Uses Football to Keep Fighting
Finn spends 4 hours in dialysis, three days a week, while coaching and waiting for a kidney transplant.
- Iroquois assistant football coach David Finn balances coaching and fatherhood while undergoing dialysis three days a week, four hours per session, as he awaits a kidney transplant.
- Diagnosed two years ago, Finn learned his kidneys were failing, describing the initial prognosis as "horrifying." Through prayer and family support, he committed to continuing his life.
- Football provides Finn an essential escape from his life-sustaining treatment. "My coaching staff, those are my brothers," Finn said, describing his team as a second family.
- Driven by his responsibilities as a father, Finn refuses to stop pushing. "I don't want him to ever see me stop pushing," Finn said of his son.
- Until he receives a transplant, Finn continues showing up for his players and family. Potential living kidney donors are encouraged to contact Health for free testing.
