Athlete Profile: Danielle Fiorito

Danielle Fiorito is a kidney transplant recipient. She began competing in Donor Games events when she was on dialysis, and continued to work out for two hours every day. Prior to her kidney transplant, she was a collegiate soccer player and a competitive CrossFit athlete. The Donor Games is the perfect fit, combining her love for fitness and her competitive nature. Not only did the Donor Games help satisfy her competitive itch, it also connected her with people who had been through similar experiences. Hearing their stories gave her hope. Now, she wants to spread the word that even while going through kidney failure and dialysis, you can still be active and make the most out of a difficult time.

Transplant Story: Danielle received a kidney transplant on January 12, 2026. Her mother was her donor. Read Danielle’s full transplant story.

Personal: Danielle lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she works as a speed and strength coach for high school, college, and professional athletes.
