My brother Dominic is my hero. I, Nick Di Brizzi Jr, was born with Cystic Fibrosis. After receiving a double lung transplant in 2015 I went into kidney failure while working on the show Fargo in Chicago in 2019. I began peritoneal dialysis and both my brothers stepped up right away to test as living donors. My older brother Dominic was a perfect match and donated his kidney to me on July 1st, 2021. 7 years ago I started a non profit called The Breathe Like A Boss Foundation that offers exercise and recreational grants to transplant recipients. My brother Dominic has been an important part of our mission as a Board Member for over 7 years. He truly is a Hero!!
