Jeremy Wayne Hilburn

Kidney recipient

Diagnosed with kidney failure in 2012, Jeremy Wayne Hilburn spent eight years on dialysis before receiving a life-saving kidney transplant from his late father on March 17, 2018. Through NKF, he educated himself on transplantation, nutrition, and kidney health. His dedication led him from fundraising and event participation to serving on volunteer committees, and, for the past two years, as a Board Member for the NKF Serving Texas, covering the TX/Oklahoma region. Now, he works alongside an incredible team to expand awareness, marketing, and growth for the Foundation's Mission.
