One of the best feel-good story I've heard all year.

A Melbourne man decided to donate a kidney to save his friend's life. When it turned out that his friend didn't need a transplant he decided to donate his to an anonymous person anyway. This led to a cascade. The partner of the first recipient decided that, due to the altruism of the first doner, she would donate hers. This was repeated six more times.
The first donor hero, Paul Bannan, said "A stranger's a mate that I haven't met yet".
This guy should be next Australian of the year.

Professor Steve Holt, the director of nephrology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, said Mr Banan's donation was important. "Paul is unique, he is a fantastic hero really," he said. "With the paired kidney exchange we often facilitate two transplants, or perhaps three transplants but seven is the biggest transplant chain we've managed to date in Australia." |
