The rewards are gratifying,” White said. “I am battling against kidney disease and I’m currently on the waiting list for a Kidney Transplant.  You can always find a way to fight Kidney disease by picking yourself up and fighting to get back out there.  It will take some life adjustments and challenges, but with Faith it can be done.  Thank you 65Medicare.org for supporting me in this educational journey.”
