Bridget Kolls, a Cubs fan, threw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, reuniting with her kidney donor, Thomas Alessio — a die-hard White Sox fan. Kolls, 23, was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2017. Two years later, she decided to broaden her search for a donor, bringing a homemade sign to a Cubs game in May 2019 that read, “This lil’ Cubbie needs a kidney.” Her plea spread across social media and caught the attention of Alessio. The two later learned they were a match, and surgery was scheduled for March 2020, just before the baseball season. Six years later, they reunited at Wrigley Field. #whitesox #cubs #kidneytransplant #kidneydonation
