After a five and a half year wait, a lady we know, Maureen, has just received a new kidney.
She had been on dialysis for that long, virtually tied to that machine, unable to go anywhere too far because she knows she'd need dialysis again.
It's a thrill for her family too of course.
I thank all the people who are prepared to make their organs available for transplant after they die. Only people who die after head trauma, usually a car accident, are eligible to donate live organs.
Saying you will be an organ donor on your driver's licence isn't enough. You need to register with the government.
Do it, and save lives of wonderful people like Maureen.
