A new drive by NHS Lanarkshire is asking people to consider donating a kidney, as they highlight that living donors offer the best outcome for those in need of a transplant.
There are currently over 400 people waiting for a kidney donation in Scotland and on that list in 2019 was Shelly Townsley's sister Pamela, who she donated a kidney to after her sister was forced onto dialysis to keep her alive.
The sisters, from Coltness, are now gearing up to celebrate their third Christmas since their operations and Shelly credits the operation for giving her sister her life back.
