Collins Hill High School cheer coach donates kidney to former teammate

After two years, three months and 13 days, Chelsie Horton received a call that a compatible kidney for her had been found.

She remembers that moment down to the minute.

The call came in May 7 at 3:07 p.m. She was scheduled for the transplant days later on May 29 at 7:30 a.m., and her former teammate on the cheer squad at Columbus State University would be one of the four donors involved in donating her and three others a kidney through a paired exchange program.
