Rob Hicks gave his aunt the gift of life. Through organ donation he provided her with a much-needed kidney. But what makes his story unique is that he himself is the recipient of an organ transplant.
Hicks grew up in Chicago’s Bridgeport/Brighten Park neighborhood, and following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force serving as part of the four-man fire team known as the 90th Missile Security Forces Squadron during Operation Enduring Freedom.
