-- A Plainfield woman battling a lifelong kidney disease is looking for a miracle at a Cubs baseball game.
CBS 2's Marybel González spoke to the woman, Christine Todd, about how she plans on taking her search for an organ donor to the stands."I've known for many years that I have polycystic kidney disease. It's a hereditary disease," Todd said."The kidneys grow so big, they stop functioning. Sometimes there's pain.""I knew one day it would come," Todd said.
She has tried that too. For three years now, Todd has been on a waiting list to receive an organ donation."Well, you get a little upset and sad - but you still got to keep moving," Todd said. The hairdresser and cosmetologist has traveled to many states seeking help. But now, she's looking for a miracle at a place near home – one where she and her husband, Jason, have found so much joy over the last 30 years together. That place is a Cubs baseball game.
"We're making banners, T-shirts," Todd said."They always tell you to get the word out, but now that it's come to where I'm at the stage where I really need to get the word out more.""I just want to continue on living, and to be here for my dog and for my husband, and just to keep doing the job that I love - I love doing my job - and make other people look good and happy," Todd said."I just never give up, I guess," Todd said.
