Support Longtime WMMR Friend, John DeRenzi, In His Quest For A Kidney Transplant
If you have attended a Preston & Steve event over the years, there’s a good chance that John DeRenzi was behind making that event happen. St. Patrick’s Day Broadcasts, Thursday Night Kickoffs, Phillies Spring Training, Preston & Steve’s Beer of the Month, Ben To The Shore Bike Ride, countless concert and sports ticket giveaways (the really big, sold out concerts and events) are a small taste of the WMMR programs that John was involved in making happen. That’s why this event is so important to the WMMR Family.
John is a husband and father to four children and a friend to many! A St. John Neumann High School & West Chester University grad, he has been a beer salesman and lifelong Philadelphia sports fan. His kidneys are failing and he needs your help to find a living kidney donor.
A living kidney donation will last longer and has a better chance of giving him the wonderful gift of leading a longer, healthier and more normal life.
John needs our help to find a kidney and secure his family’s future.
How it Works
A kidney donor doesn’t have to be a relative. Unrelated donors are matched up with recipients every day. Testing can be done anonymously and John’s insurance covers the costs. You always have the chance to change your mind.

Janelle Gabel, a 36-year-old mother of three, made the extraordinary decision to become a living kidney donor. Her journey began when her elementary school friend was diagnosed with kidney disease, sparking an immediate sense that she would be the one to help.
From the initial testing to the life-changing surgery, Janelle’s unwavering commitment to her friend led to not just one, but two transformed lives.
Now, approaching her six-month follow-up, she shares her remarkable story of organ donation, the surprisingly peaceful experience of her first-ever surgery, and how this selfless act has changed her perspective on life.
Janelle’s life-changing decision to donate her kidney not only transformed her friend’s life but also set in motion a chain of events that affected multiple lives for the better.
