We could use more people like Melissa

In case you haven't done so yet, I highly recommend reading the newest addition to my blog roll, The Gift of Life. Melissa's blog is about her "journey into kidney donation" as she has altruistically agreed to donate one of her kidneys to a complete stranger (who happens to have Polycystic Kidney Disease) through http://www.matchingdonors.com. Her surgery is scheduled for next week. It's well worth your time to start from the beginning and read her whole story. It is very inspiring.
