Tony Gunter — Kidney Search Foundation

Who Am I?

I am a husband, a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a cyclist, and a dog lover. I have lived a life full of love, laughter, and purpose, but I know there is still so much more life ahead of me. I want more moments with my wife and family, more birthdays, bike rides, cookouts, and quiet evenings watching movies together. I want to keep being the man my loved ones can count on.

My Interests:

I’m a man who laughs at comedies, watches forensic shows, cheers during action movies, and still carries the spirit of Southeast D.C. and Anacostia in my heart. I am a true dog lover, always finding joy in attending dog shows. My happiest moments are spent surrounded by family, sharing love, laughter, and connection. I appreciate great food and good company — whether it’s a favorite local spot or discovering a new restaurant. One of my dreams is to travel more freely and fully, without fatigue — exploring the world hand-in-hand with my wife.

My Diagnosis:

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

I am reaching out to my community, from the depths of my heart, to ask for help in finding a living kidney donor. A living donor transplant would give me a second chance: the chance to live freely, fully, and vibrantly, without being bound to a dialysis chair three days a week. It would mean more time, more energy, and more life to share with the people I love most.

My Blood Type: B
