Barry: 'My dog found me a kidney'

A woman who met her kidney donor by chance on a day out at the seaside is urging others to consider donating their organs.

Lucy Humphrey, 44, from Caerphilly, was told in 2019 that without a kidney transplant, she would only have five years to live.

She was diagnosed with lupus - a condition which causes inflammation to the organs - in 2001.

After a chance conversation at Cold Knap beach in Barry, with 40-year-old Katie James - who was then a stranger, - they were found to be a perfect match.

The transplant took place in October last year, and both women are doing well.
