A 15-year-old kid in Toledo, Ohio named Roman McCormick has a rare genetic condition that’s already burned out his kidneys. So his parents had been scrambling to find a donor until they recently got a call from one of his teachers.
It turned out Roman’s math teacher . . . Eddie McCarthy . . . secretly went and got tested, and spent five months jumping through all the hoops to donate.
He planned to remain anonymous, but figured Roman’s parents might want to know who the donor was. They were obviously ecstatic. The surgery is happening TODAY (7/19) at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.
