Jeremy Biondi is the owner of Moo's Barbecue in Newton, a family man, and a big Las Vegas Raiders fan. However, he also has his own battles — like stage four liver and kidney disease."Two years ago, I was at a racetrack with a friend of mine and I just passed out," said Jeremy Biondi, the owner of Moo's BBQ in Newton. Soon after, Jeremy was diagnosed with IgG-4, an autoimmune disease that he says is attacking his kidney and liver. Fast forward to January 2022, he and his wife Nicole learned he has cirrhosis. Both Jeremy and Nicole were shocked because he isn't a heavy drinker in the slightest. The condition permanently damaged and scarred his liver. "I went to get evaluated for a transplant and my body was too frail," Jeremy said.The evaluation happened in February. Now, five months later, Jeremy says he still can't get on the list. Both Jeremy and Nicole say one of the most difficult parts of Jeremy's condition is that doctors can't give a set timeline on how long he may have left to live. "Most nights I stay awake late because I just think: 'Am I going to wake up?'" Jeremy said.But he does wake up each day, with a purpose: to help others on organ transplant lists. "You don't really think about organ donation until you need it," Jeremy said.Back during the pandemic, Jeremy and his Moo's BBQ family established Ribapalooza, where they tried to sell as many ribs as they could to set a record. On June 29, they introduced it again to some of their customers before expanding it to everyone. "This is the second time we've done it," said Michelle Gonzales, who works at Moo's BBQ. "This year, it's a little different because he's raising money also for kidneys." In the early hours of the day, before many people are awake, Jeremy says one of the Moo's BBQ family named Jesse comes in and starts preparing to smoke large racks of ribs. A full rack of ribs went for $21.99 up until Saturday night, with a side dish. At least one dollar from each rack is being donated to the National Kidney Foundation. The team says if all of Saturday's racks sell out, they will have done more than 250 since Wednesday. Ribapalooza is definitely a task, but one the Moo's BBQ family was up to getting done for their beloved boss. "It was disappointing hearing about the waiting list, but it also gave us like hope and motivation to help," said Kristlyn Johnson, who's worked at Moo's BBQ for two years. The Moo's BBQ family's only wish is for Jeremy to get better. "We just want to help him and show that while he's taking care of his issues, we're here to run his business for him," Gonzales said. Jeremy, Nicole and their family continuously pray. "I look at people and I've only really seen four or five godly people in my life. That's my parents, Nicole's parents, and Derek Carr of the Las Vegas Raiders," Jeremy said. "I want to pray with Derek Carr." That's just one of Jeremy's wishes. His other is to help others receive what he can't currently: an organ transplant. Of course, Jeremy would like to receive his transplant and continue getting better. It's a wish he has not only for himself and his family, but also for others with a life-threatening illness. He tells KCCI that if he survives this, he plans to create a way to help those adults get their final wishes.
