In September 2009, at the age of 37, Kirk Franz was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and bile duct cancer. Kirk received a liver transplant on May 20, 2010 and had two more abdominal surgeries over the next two weeks to minimize the chances of cancer returning.
Kirk has fully recovered and he and his wife, Shannon, are active in Georgia's Organ Transnplant Community and are liver transplant mentors for the Georgia Transplant Foundation.
