My name is Chris aka DriverofDonzi....some of you know who I am and some don't. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 9 in 1984 and today it has been 31 years and I am 40 years old now. I have stage 3 chronic kidney disease and had an appointment with the doctor at University of Michigan for kidney checkup. then had blood draw.

A few minutes ago , i found out that my kidney functions are getting worse....I think 16% kidneys that are functioning. Transplant evaluation is being scheduled and I will know more in a couple of days....

To tell you the truth.....I rather be racing than doing this....it scared me more and more.... I rather be racing with Chris Reindl or Tony Moncantonio than doing this but I have no choice but to get kidney transplant. I have 9 1/2 years old daughter whom has type 1 diabetes at age 2 1/2 years old. She doesn't want anyone else but me. she needs me everyday....

So I am asking you....I need millions, millions, millions prayers to help me calm down and get through this so I can have better life ahead of me. I will have other blood draw later this week.

When this happens...I will be at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI....will stay there for 3 days. And yes, i am scared.

Prayers needed........

Thanks, everyone.

Chris
