DANVERS (CBS) – Anne Skinner’s kidneys were failing, that’s when her husband Mike, who was desperate to help, tapped into social media.
“I went from a vibrant, busy working mom to a tired, sick woman,” Anne said.
Mike used his Twitter and Facebook accounts, started a blog, and came up with the slogan “Calling All Kidneys” to search for a donor for Anne.
The 43-year-old mother-of-four suffers from Polycystic Kidney Disease, a genetic disease with no cure.
“I went into stage 5 renal failure and was quickly faced with needing a donor,” Anne said.
Mike would have donated his own kidney, but has a pre-existing condition that wouldn’t allow him.
