Earlier this year, I wrote about Julianne Culhane, who had just finished Pace University Law School, was studying for the bar exam, looking for a job and living with lupus.
After she got sick while she was in college, her kidneys failed and she needed a transplant.
This month, Culhane competed in the U.S. Transplant Games sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation. They were held in Pittsburgh.
Culhane won gold and silver in the swimming competitions. She got gold in the 50-yard backstroke and silver in the 50-yard freestyle,
Last summer, she swam in the 16th World Transplant Games in Bangkok. There she won a gold medal and a bronze in the 50-meter backstroke and the 50-meter butterfly.
