Wife donates Kidney to Husband!

 Well, this man certainly made the right choice when he proposed to his partner 25 years ago!

Donna Creed gave her kidney to her husband Darren who was suffering from polycystic kidney disease. When his medical problems got worse over the 12 years since being diagnosed, he was advised to look for a donor and started with family members. But amazingly, it was his wife who turned out to be a match. Doctors told them it was a one in 22 million chance that they were a match!!!

What an amazing gift she gave him. Love does help a bit when deciding should you be a living donor or hope for the more common donation from a generous person who has sadly died.

You can read more about this story on the BBC News website. The couple are planning a charity event in September to raise money for the PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) charity.
