Add Riley Hancey to the Transplant Wait List

The Issue

Mark Hancey has his son, Riley Hancey, at the University of Utah hospital right now. Riley has been hospitalized at the University of Utah Hospital going on 45 days for pneumonia. Riley's pneumonia took a turn for the worse with severe complications, and now he needs a lung transplant. Riley's father Mark was told this week that because Riley had tested positive for cannabis 45 days ago when he first was admitted to the hospital, he will not be added to the list for a life-saving lung transplant.

Mark and Riley need all the help we can we can give them. Riley is young and should have his whole life ahead of him. His father Mark is not prepared to let his son go without a fight.

Please share their story as often as you can, and advocate for this young man to be allowed to have his life-saving lung transplant!
