A young Scots mum in complete kidney failure is begging people to sign up as live organ donors over fears her children could be orphaned. Widow Kerry Brown was diagnosed with an extremely rare autoimmune disease called Goodpasture syndrome in January this year, which left her with just four percent kidney function.
The 36-year-old is now undergoing three four-hour sessions of dialysis a week to keep her alive, and is praying that a living donor can be found for the sake of her three kids. The family, from Cairneyhill, Fife, tragically lost husband and dad Andy in July 2018 after a short battle with an aggressive brain cancer aged 33.
Just four years later, Kerry, a former marathon runner, is now facing her own terrifying health battle while continuing to look after Eve, 14, Connor, 12, and Lewis, four. She said: “My first thought when they told me about the kidney failure was ‘but what about my kids?’
