According to TribLive, Pritchard received a kidney transplant in 2006. The kidney that lasted Pritchard 12 years is now in need of replacement and that’s where the picture comes into play.

Pritchard is currently taking dialysis three times per week as he faces Stage 5 kidney failure.

Anyone interested in signing up to see if they qualify for a donation can visit the UPMC Living Transplant website.

Pritchard is blood type A-positive. Anyone with a match is encouraged to contact the family directly at 724-321-1490.
