A Glasgow woman has described the "tense and emotional" journey she went through, after donating a kidney to her cousin who lived 400 miles away.
Kind Margaret McCabe decided she wanted to help Mary Morrison, who was suffering from polycystic kidney disease (PKD), which causes the kidneys to deteriorate. Doctors had warned 56-year-old Mary, who lived in London, that she would need a life-saving transplant or be on dialysis for the rest of her life.
After it was discovered that none of Mary's friends or close family were matches, Margaret decided she would get tested to see if she was a suitable donor.
