Liver donor and recipient now best of friends

The Kingston Whig Standard in Ontario has a wonderful, heartwarming story about a stranger who donated 70% of her liver to man after hearing about his search for a liver donor on a morning radio show. The donor is Sherrie Edmunds, 22 and the recipient was Dr. Chris Mueller, 51, a cancer researcher and bichemistry professor. I highly recommend reading this article that shows that when people are made aware of someone's desperate need for a life-saving organ transplant they want to help. Read the story at:

(There's a slew of other articles and posts about Sherrie Edmunds that a Google search will turn up).
