Kidney donors, recipients meet for the first time in Missouri
Two kidney donors who initially signed up to help friends ended up saving the lives of complete strangers and met their recipients for the first time Thursday.
Megan Hall donated a kidney to Cindy Delong last year. The two embraced in person after months of exchanging letters and messages.

Tim Vandall, a friend of Delong맥스카지노s, was also tested as a potential match. Though he was not a fit for Delong, he continued with the donation process and ultimately saved the life of Teresa Champlin.

Champlin called him 맥스카지노the man that saved my life.맥스카지노
Dr. Alice Crane with the transplant team at Research Medical Center said moments like these are incredibly meaningful.
