Mrs Claus gives Santa a kidney for Christmas

Update: 2020-12-23

Description

Carol Wilson never has to buy her husband Ian another Christmas gift.

The doting wife gave her partner of more than 40 years the incredible gift of a kidney — just in time for Christmas for Ian, a local shopping centre Santa.

Carol and Ian join us on this episode to discuss how they made the decision and the "phenomenal" care they received from Western Sydney Local Health District every step of the way.

They also share some advice for any couples seeking to emulate their wonderful love story.
