Comments Thread For: Cunningham Fights for his Daughter's Heart Transplant

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Philadelphia - America was introduced to Kennedy Cunningham when her father first fought on NBC back in December of 2012 when he faced Tomasz Adamek in that epic battle, we learned that she suffered from a severed heart condition called HLHS.

In April when Steve fought Amir Mansour on NBC Sports, the family had just received heart breaking news when they we told that Kennedy was not a candidate for heart transplant as they had hoped.

She had her first open heart surgery at 2 days old and the second six months later. She was hospitalized for the first year of her life and suffered many set backs along the way, including a stroke, many blood infections and also required a trach and vent for several years when she was younger. The doctors that cared for her back then all say that she is a miracle, they saw everything she went through and never thought she would live to be 8 years old! Now, almost 9 years later she continues to show us how tough she is! [Click Here To Read More]

I hope Cunningham has some friends in the sport who can really help make a difference with donations.

And I hope she gets the transplant she needs.

Big love to the Cunningham family.

Wheres Floyd Mayweather when you need him with his millions?

Instead of paying horses like Bad Medina to chill with him he can be a decent human being and help Cunningham (and keep it on the low if he's really doing it out of his heart).

I hope she gets better and someone can do something about this.

This is sad, If I was ****** rich like Floyd Mayweather and had money to toss around like he does I would pay for this girls heart transplant and medicine and health care. Steve Cunningham along with Tim Bradley are some of the last few American warriors in boxing. Man this is the most painful, and I know how he feels man, Steve is a good man and he never got shine or the big fights he remained on the small circuit when he should have been on the big show with the type of wars he been in.

I hope and pray for this innocent sweet little girl, I nearly broke down reading this. I hope someone helps them but most importantly I hope that little girl lives.

He is fighting to take away the pain, that is why he took the fight still, sometimes when you are this type of situation you want to do something but you cant and the only thing you can do is keep fighting and hoping for the best. I hope he wins man.

Damn that's sad. I hope she gets it

Networks, Boxing Media like what BoxingScene is doing here, need to let this situation be known at every boxing event and see if fans are willing to donate at every boxing event.

This is my first time hearing about his situation, very sad news.

Yes it would be nice if fighters can also donate
