Kidney Warrior Spotlight - AJ Coulter

AJ Coulter, is not only a Phoenix valley comedian, but heโ€™s also on a mission to open up the dialogue surrounding kidney disease! He was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and receives dialysis 3 times a week to keep him alive as he waits for a kidney transplant. AJ said, โ€œI was diagnosed with FSGS, and I had no idea how to react to it. I was really by myself, I was scared, I was just so lostโ€. If laughter is indeed the best medicine, AJโ€™s comedy act may just save a life. Letโ€™s raise awareness about his story and share with everyone!
