Have you ever thought about giving an organ to a family member to save their life? What about donating to a complete stranger just for the greater good? 

On today’s episode I am joined by Steve Liston. Steve has no experience of kidney disease in his family, but last year chose to donate his kidney to save a stranger’s life. You will also hear from Dr Darren Lee, one of our transplant nephrologists, who will talk about this type of donation and how the kidney exchange works.

If you haven’t done so already sign up today and become an organ and tissue donor. For more information, please visit Donate Life.
