Man takes search for kidney donor to Times Square billboard, inspiring NYPD detective: Kindness is contagious
Thirteen people die every day in the U.S. waiting for a kidney to be transplanted. About 100,000 Americans are on a waiting list.
One of them is Marc Weiner, director of professional development at CBS News, whose story was shared on an Instagram account that highlights what CBS News employees are doing, @wearecbsnews.
Weiner is so desperate to find a kidney that he s making his plea at the Crossroads of the World on a billboard. I want it bad. I don t want to sound selfish, but I want to be healthier. I want to be able to do things with my family and not be limited, Weiner told CBS This Morning lead national correspondent David Begnaud.
