It has had such a transformational effect on my life – woman thanks her sister for kidney transplant

A family have shared their story of organ transplants, as six of their family have received kidney transplants throughout the years.  Four years ago, Emma O’Connor gave her older sister Louise Cowman the gift of life when she donated her kidney to the mum of twins. Louise said her transplant “was like winning the lotto.” Their father Joe Fitzpatrick has also become a kidney recipient - as well as an uncle, aunts, and two cousins. The Irish family are sharing their kidney transplant story in support of Organ Donor Awareness week which ran from March 27– April 3. The family carry a rare hereditary kidney condition called Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), which over time causes loss of kidney function. The family say they are “grateful” for the opportunities kidney transplants have granted them.
