MOLINE, Ill. A Wisconsin man is biking cross-country to raise awareness for living organ donation.
Mark Scotch of Plover, Wisconsin met Hugh Smith at a brewery in Louisiana in early 2020.
The two men struck up a conversation and Smith mentioned he needed a kidney transplant. I just said hey, if you need one, I ll give you one of mine. And one thing led to another, and here I am! Scotch said.
