00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: The Emery and Mysic families have been friends for around

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: thirteen years, but it was this past one that really

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: solidified their bond. That's because Elena Emory was in need

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: of a kidney due to a genetic disease.

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: When you in need for a kidney, you need to

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,920

00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Elena looking for a living donor. Now, after getting tested

00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: and joining the National Kidney Registry, a donor exchange process

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: was set up.

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: I was able to donate to someone closer to my

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: age group and so that puts again Elena to the top.

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Elena has been paired with a match and will receive

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: a new kidney in just over a week thanks to

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: her friend Ron.

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: So if you can't give, at least spread the word

18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:44,960
