Clayton plays every sport imaginable, from baseball and basketball to soccer and swimming, despite having kidney failure from birth. He is also a gifted pianist and tuba player. He needed a kidney transplant when, in the sixth grade, his kidney function started to drastically drop. His equal? No one else save his loving father.

Thanks to the life-saving organ donation made by Clayton's own father, Matt, he is still well and strong almost three years later. Every year, Clayton commemorates his "kidneyversary" by giving refreshments to the Egleston transplant floor.
