When he found out family friend Mike Paxman, 19, needed a kidney transplant, he decided to get tested and see if he could help.
But what he didn’t realise was that he was the perfect match.
Earlier this year he became a lifesaver by donating his left kidney.
And he hopes this story will inspire more people to sign up to becoming organ donors.
Mike, 19, of Soberton, started developing problems in his kidney when he was five years old.
He said: ‘I got a virus when I was five and problems developed from that.
‘My kidneys would flare up each time the virus came back, and each time that happened my kidneys deteriorated.’
