DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - He's having fun fundraising - and he hopes you will, too.
Clay Quinn's quirky half-court basketball shots are a nod to his dad, Joe.
Type 1 Diabetes caused his dad's kidney failure.
"So he went in and he was feeling pretty bad - and they were like 'You need a transplant now,'" says Quinn.
Earlier this month, Clay's dad received a much-needed kidney transplant.
The donor: Clay's mom Chelly. A perfect match all along.
"She's just so strong and I'll get emotional if I keep talking about her," says Quinn. "But it's just been inspiring."
The inspiration led to the idea: 30 days of 30 different swishes, and raise money for the National Kidney Foundation, in honor of mom and dad.
