Popular Post NEWKID 26,191 Posted November 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 In these times of doom and gloom I had a real nice bit of news the other day... A friend of mine donated his kidney to one of his best mates, they'd played in a band together as teenagers (the lad he donated to actually got to the finals of the voice)... I spoke with him last week, he was sore but in good spirits... I know everyone is a tough man etc blah... but to me that is a huge thing to do, real show of courage..to put yourself under the knife for a friend is massive...imo Hes a good lad anyway, but showed a real bit of class with this one 23 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 20,409 Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Makes you wonder what you'd do in these dire situations. Both my children died in my arms from cancer......I'd have given my life gladly to save them, I've had a great life and am quite old, but sadly it doesn't work that way.

Charts, thats awful mate, f**k me terrible situation.. as you say you'd do anything for your kids, can't even imagine it mate.. To do what my mate did for a friend is quite amazing as you wouldn't miss a heartbeat in your decision for you kids, but it must've been a hard decision for him and his Mrs to put him at risk, he has 2 kids as well to think about... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've known the lad since he was a kid, we played in a band together a few years back as well, he's a really nice lad... I just thought about how hard it must've been to make the decision... shows us that there's still decent people about though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
