For this week’s story of #HowWeMetAtRU, we have seanpatrickmusic & Anthony Ingoglia ✨

“In 2002, Anthony & I became fast friends through campus hangs with mutual colleagues. Anthony and I would have many adventures during our time at Rutgers in our four years together. Spending many late nights together on College Ave. and always ending up at the old grease trucks parking lot for late night shenanigans. After graduation we would stay close. We would travel to Madison, Wisconsin and New Orleans, Louisiana together. Anthony and his future wife would fly back to NJ multiple times and stay with me and my wife to see me perform, and just spend time together. I even flew out for his wedding in San Francisco. We just always continued to stay in each others lives over the years and became the closest of friends. In 2021, I was informed I needed a liver transplant due to a chronic illness AND I also had a rare bile duct cancer called Cholangiocarcinoma. I desperately began searching for a living donor so that I could receive said transplant as soon as possible. Without me knowing, Anthony voluntarily signed up to begin the donor process and after several exams in which he had to cross the country to take ... it was determined that we were a match. My Rutgers experience would never have been the same without Anthony. I didn’t have many friends at Rutgers at the beginning, but thankfully our friendship changed that and I credit our meeting to me having some of the greatest moments of my life at that time. It goes without saying though ... my LIFE would not be the same had Anthony and I not met at RU. Thankfully Rutgers brought us together in ‘02 and over 20 years later, that friendship would ultimately save my life.”
