WWE broadcaster Megan Morant recently made an impactful announcement on social media.
She shared that she is embarking on an important journey to donate one of her kidneys, aiming to save the life of her former boss's wife.Ā
āIām still not really sure where to start with this post, but hereās my best try:
āTomorrow I am donating my kidney.
āIām sure you have lots of questions so here goes nothing: You see, back in November I learned that my friendĀ @mstevenkĀ needed a kidney. After chatting with him about kidney transplants at work, I was intrigued. I rushed home and spent the entire weekend reading kidney.org before telling Kirsh that I would gladly test for him. A few blood tests later, and I got a call that Kirsh and I were not a match.
āInstantly, I felt very sad. I wanted to help, but couldnāt. So I made a promise to myself: if the opportunity to donate a kidney ever comes up again in my life, Iāll do it.
āAbout a week later, on a group chat with my old work pals at theĀ @patriotsĀ I learned that my previous bossā wife was in kidney failure. It all felt meant to be. After 5 months of testing, and a few more months of waiting, the day has finally come. While Margrette and I also are not a blood type match, through the National Kidney Registryās joint donor program, I will advance donate tomorrow and in return, Margrette will get a kidney to save her life.
āThroughout this whole process, Margrette has been an absolute rockstar. She remains extremely positive through her daily dialysis and continues to work in the nonprofit space to make life better for others all while enduring the pain and discomfort that is kidney failure.
āI feel so blessed to be in a position to help Margrette and her family. Itās truly the honor of my life, and it reminds me why we are all here: to help and be there for each otherš«¶š„¹ While Iāve had my strong/brave girl face on this entire process, Iām not gonna lie, Iām a little nervous, so If youāre a person that prays, please keep us in your prayers tomorrow. šš I āll see you all on the other side! Weāve got our green nails on and we are ready to go!Ā #DonateLifeĀ #kidneydonorĀ #kidneyā
WNS wishes Morant and the recipient all the very best.
