Mark McIntosh on Bill McCartney, Kidney Transplants & Bringing the Transplant Games to Denver | OTGS27 feb1 u 01 min

Longtime Denver sportscaster Mark McIntosh joins Tom Green to reflect on covering the rise of Bill McCartney’s Colorado Buffaloes, competing in Denver’s golden era of local TV sports, and how a life-altering kidney diagnosis reshaped his purpose. McIntosh shares the story of being diagnosed with a rare blood cancer that led to kidney failure, the road through dialysis and chemotherapy at UC Anschutz, and the life-saving transplant that changed everything. Now an advocate for organ donation and wellness, he discusses the growing kidney crisis in America, the role of the National Kidney Registry, and what it means for Denver to host the Transplant Games of America for the first time this June.
