Coach Troy and his family are facing an incredibly difficult medical emergency. Troy’s liver disease is causing it to fail, resulting in repeated hospitalizations, countless tests and blood draws, transfusions, and increasingly intensive treatments and daily care.

He is currently being treated through the USC Keck Abdominal Transplant Center and has been placed high on the liver transplant list based on his MELD score. Unfortunately, his condition will continue to decline until a compatible liver becomes available.

As Troy’s wife, Keri is doing everything possible to support him through treatment and recovery. However, the demands of his care—including hospital stays and an upcoming acute care physical therapy rehabilitation facility—have made it increasingly difficult and with Troy not able to work, the family is facing growing medical expenses, travel costs, and household bills during this challenging time.

This fundraiser will help ease that financial burden so Troy and Keri can focus on his care. Donations will support medical expenses, transportation to and from treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing household bills while Keri’s ability to work is limited.

As John Wooden said, “A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.” Coach Troy has changed countless lives through his dedication as a cheer coach, mentor, and role model. If you ever had him in the gym, on the mat, or on the sidelines, you know the impact of his guidance and encouragement. He has always been there for his athletes—now it is our turn to be there for him. So, let's show your colors, rep your team, and support your coach!

If you are able, please consider making a recurring donation to help with Troy’s continuing needs. One-time donations and sharing this fundraiser are also deeply appreciated. Above all, please pray that a compatible liver becomes available for Troy. WE BELIEVE, COACH TROY!

Your prayers, support, and generosity mean the world to the Hedgren family.

Troy’s life verse:

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 1:6
