Two Marines, bonded by the gift of life, received a special gift this week: tickets to see the Eagles and Chiefs face off in the Super Bowl.
Two Marines bonded by the gift of life received a special gift this week: tickets to see the Eagles and Chiefs face off in the Super Bowl."When John and I first met in the Marine Corps, he was an old salty Marine that's been there forever," said Billy Welsh.
"We kind of parted and went our separate ways," said Welsh. "20 years later, I found out I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease." In 2019, Welsh made a tongue-in-cheek Facebook post, saying he needed a new kidney because both of his were "junk." Gladwell saw the post but thought it might be a joke at first.
"He's got a son that was roughly the same age as my grandson at the time," said Gladwell. "And I had no other choice."just before the Philadelphia Eagles faced the Kansas City Chiefs. And now, in 2023, both of those teams are facing off in Super Bowl LVII.
