Sherwood (Woody aka DJ Woody Wood) graduated from Harrisburg High School District, John Harris Campus in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Upon graduating high school he attending the Culinary School of Washington DC.

Sherwood is a 12 year kidney failure warrior, an advocate for other warriors and through his radio show he has been bringing awareness to help his audience who is dealing with kidney failure and a better comprehension of life on a dailysis machine. By listening to everyone that reaches out and contact him, he provides support and coaching on navingating the life changing ordeal. He recongnizes that everyone does not have the support they need or family supporting them.

“I just try to listen to everyone that contacts me about kidney failure and help them to navigate thru this life ordeal…. a lot of people don’t have support like I am blessed with.”

The village surrounding you may not fulling understand what the Kidney Warrior is going through. Your village will try to be there and provide support any way they can and help the warrior through the high and low moments.

If I had the opportunity to sit down with the younger version of myself, one thing I will share is to “eat right and go enjoy life more”.

We must educate ourselves and understand our temple. So many people do not understand how and what important function the kidneys plays to your health.
