Although I only scan through

Although I only scan through our daily newspaper - I still managed to find this....

A teenager on kidney dialysis desperately needed a transplant.
An ideal match was found - his seriously overweight mother.
But...the surgeon wouldn't operate as she was too heavy to undergo a successful operation.

What would YOU have done if you were in that situation?

Well...the mother lost 5 stone (70 pounds) in six months - and just recently both her and her son had the operations. The son is progressing well - and now doesn't need dialysis for the first time in years.

Would YOU have done it?

Here's what the mother said...

"After eating only vegetables and soup and walking everywhere - I was starving - but I knew that it would all be worth it."

I haven't really got much else to say (for a change!) - as this real life story has a message all of its own:

"You can achieve whatever you want in your life - but only if you want it bad enough."
