Kidney recipient encourages people to donate during Living Kidney Donation Week
KAMLOOPS — It’s Living Kidney Donation Week. Living organ donations reduce the wait time for patients and for one Kamloops woman, it saved her life.
“I’ve got six sisters, but she’s more special to me than all of them put together,” said Dorothy Drinnan, a kidney donation recipient living in Kamloops.
Drinnan remembers it like it was yesterday — eight years ago, she was in dire need of a kidney.
