Hear Our Story

As managing editor of the Drive for Five Network, Mark McIntosh feels it’s his responsibility to lead the charge in awakening America to its growing kidney crisis. A prolific writer, author of four books, motivational speaker, former award-winning TV/Radio sports personality and community advocate, at the end of the day,, the 66-year-old is a storyteller at heart. The father of two is also passionate about never growing weary of good works for others.

McIntosh’s writings have been described as inspirational, raw and relevant in his attempt to encourage Americans to rally against this growing societal challenge of needing more organ donations, better policies promoting participation and less kidney disease.
