Chiefs fan donated kidney to Eagles fan. Now they’re off to Super Bowl together

Billy Welsh stepped up when he heard his former marine comrade John Gladwell urgently needed a new kidney

When Billy Welsh went on social media more than two years ago and said he urgently needed a new kidney, his former US marines comrade John Gladwell stepped up and donated one of his.

Little did the two men know that Gladwell's act of friendship - which preceded a monumental health crisis of his own - would give both men the chance to share a once-in-a-lifetime trip: attending Sunday's Super Bowl to see their favorite football teams face each other in the big game.
