Eight-time Mr Olympia Lee Haney has taken to Instagram in the hopes of finding a living kidney donor after son Joshua created a post to try and save his dad\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Haney is a hero in the world of bodybuilding<\/a> and shares the record for most Mr Olympia trophies won, matching Ronnie Coleman\u2019s eight victories and dominating the stage between 1984 and 1991. But the big man was told 26 years ago that he would eventually need a kidney transplant. \u201cThrough faith, proper nutrition, and exercise, I was blessed to delay it for many years,\u201d he said, via a poster designed to raise awareness of his plight. Haney, a loving grandfather to his seven grandchildren went on to explain. \u201cNow my kidney is failing, and I\u2019m prayerfully hoping to find a living donor.\u201d So, the legendary bodybuilder is actively looking for a match.<\/p>\n Haney, who was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame back in 2014<\/a>, has confirmed that for those who wish to be considered, all donor testing and transplant costs will be covered. The Instagram post also includes a QR code that points to a survey for the Emory Healthcare Living Donor Program.<\/p>\n You can click here to access the form directly.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n With his size and sheer prowess, Haney\u2019s contributions to bodybuilding have been a huge influence on the industry. The Olympia icon was even appointed by President Bill Clinto as the chairman of the President\u2019s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Haney continues to share the important message around staying active on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, with his \u201cTotaLee Fit with Lee Haney\u201d show mixing faith and fitness.
