Meet Kidney Donor Athlete, Holly!

by Tracey Hulick | Mar 24, 2022 | Marathon, Other Sports, Parent When Donated, Running

My name is Holly Armstrong, and this is my donation story for Kidney Donor Athletes. It’s funny because I wouldn’t have always considered myself an ‘athlete’. I was a chubby, sedentary middle schooler who occasionally played softball or street hockey with my...
