John Zeigler and Rob Pittman, Friends Since Mid-High​​

“Rob and I have been friends since Mid High and High School at Edmond Memorial. There are about 5 or 6 of us that make up a core group that have remained close all these years. When I got my driver’s license I checked the box to become a donor, but I didn’t think much about it until Rob told me his kidneys were failing.” – John

“John offered to get tested as a donor the first time I told him about my kidney disease. For years I felt fine, so I put him off as long as I could. When my symptoms became more severe, my wife and I prayed about it and decided to accept John’s offer of a kidney in August 2010. Everyone in the recovery room stopped to watch us ‘high five’ after we woke up from surgery.” – Rob
