To me, donating a kidney was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. To see my cousin sit in a chair unable to climb stairs or go out of the house was all I needed to inspire me to change his life.
The funny thing is it also changed mine too. I went from a 23-stone fatty to a 14-stone footballer again … the magic in seeing my cousin once again ride his moped and be able to do all the things that were slipping away from him whilst he was busy knocking on death’s door is the most emotional and magical thing ever.
My life is now full speed ahead, playing footy 3-4 times a week against lads half my age as well as going to the gym most days. I never stop and I believe it not only re-started my cousin’s life but also kickstarted mine again.
If more people would only put themselves forward then just maybe an extra life could be saved.
Thanks for reading.
