Ken Gauvey and Michael Hughes on Being Clubmates Who Each Donated Their Kidney
Two DC Fencers Club veterans, two kidney donations three months apart, two comebacks already rolling. Ken Gauvey donated to his brother; Michael Hughes donated anonymously. They share why they did it, what recovery actually felt like, how they’re rebuilding their fencing, and what’s changed in their perspective. We also talk vet-community culture, mindfulness, listening to your body, and practical first steps if you’re curious about living donation.
