Butler Twp. man doing well after kidney surgery
After searching for a potential donor early in 2020, Butler Township resident Adam Fair is recovering well following his successful kidney transplant.
Fair, who has a condition called Alport Syndrome, started experiencing major kidney issues in October of 2019. A month later, Fair learned that he would need a kidney transplant.
Fair and his family reached out to the community for potential donors, and created a Facebook and GoFundMe page called “Help Adam Get a Kidney.” This year, Fair received a kidney from his brother-in-law, Ian Volek, who lives in New York City, on May 4. Both Volek and Fair recovered well.
“I just provided info. Ian reached out to me and said he wanted to get tested, and when they said he was a match, he didn't hesitate — he went forward with it,” said Paige Volek, Fair's wife.
