In this inspiring episode 46 we sit down with Jen Muston, a lifelong athlete, head coach of the women’s lacrosse team, and assistant athletic director at York College in Pennsylvania. Jen’s journey is a testament to resilience, teamwork, and the incredible power of organ donation.
Despite being dedicated to sports and coaching, it wasn’t until she and her husband moved to York that a new doctor took a closer look at her medical records. In 2017, she received life-changing news—she had chronic kidney disease (CKD). Facing an uncertain future, Jen’s competitive spirit and the unwavering support of her team kept her fighting. Thanks to a selfless donor and their family, she received a kidney transplant just in time, avoiding dialysis and regaining her strength.
Jen’s story is filled with ups and downs, but she embraces every challenge with the heart of an athlete.
She credits her donor family for giving her the chance to keep coaching, competing, and living life to the fullest. Tune in to hear how she overcame adversity and continues to inspire both on and off the field.
