Former Miami Dolphins CB Sam Madison donates kidney

[Perfect72]

[h=2]The Miami Dolphins have always had a voice from former cornerback Sam Madison. A staple around the facility and the teams functions since his NFL retirement, fans are often surprised to learn just how giving of his time Madison can be.[/h]
[FONT=&quot]A month ago however it wasn’t his time that Sam Madison was giving. It was a part of his body. There is no fear greater than having your child come into harms way. While there are some things that parents can do to protect their children, it’s the stuff that you can’t protect them from that often brings the most stress.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]CBS Miami revealed today that a month ago, Sam Madison donated his kidney to his 11 year old daughter Kennedy. The article points out that Kennedy began to suffer lower body swelling after a gymnastics class and it was discovered that her kidneys were shutting down.[/FONT]

“Can you do the transplant last week? That’s how it was, I found out and they were like, ‘we are going to do it the next week’ and I was like ‘ok, cool, perfect,’” Sam said.

I always loved Sam Madison as a player, but it REALLY shows what type of human being he is.

It's all great until its time for you to donate one of your kidneys. Sam's reaction was one we can only aspire to be.

Way to go Sam! Glad you were a Dolphin; but even MORE proud of what type of Dad & human being your are.

Sam sounds like a great guy, but is there really any kind of father who WOULDN'T donate their kidney to their own daughter?

You'd think, but you'd be surprised.
Love this stuff, love it. Loved him as a player, always heard about what a great guy he was. Anyone remember that 3 interception game he had vs Tennessee, it was a night game?

It breaks my heart to say, but my step-daughter's dad probably wouldn't. I'd do it in a heartbeat, though, even though she (age 16) has been with me for only 2 years.
