Cystic Fibrosis Sufferer, 3 Others, Saved by Deceased Boxer [Video]


SUPER bantamweight boxer Francisco "Paco" Rodriguez (EL Nino Azteca) died on a Sunday night in November 2009 from injuries sustained during a championship fight against Teon Kennedy. He was survived by his wife, their five-month-old baby girl, parents, two brothers, in-laws and an extended family of loved ones. And now, thanks to organ donation, he is survived by four others.



24-year-old Ashley Owens of Chester County (PA) is one of those four. Ash was born with cystic fibrosis and, in 2009, she was placed on the lung transplant list due to an antibiotic resistant bacterial infection.

Today? She's her mom's #1 mother's day gift.
