Ken Martin urges everyone to have the talk about organ donation.
For five years - during which time his hopes were raised by the prospect of four live donors - Martin has been on kidney dialysis.
For over three years he travelled from Brooks to Medicine Hat three times a week and just over two years ago he started home dialysis, three days a week, which is more convenient.

The machine stands ready for the night’s dialysis along with all the extras that are needed.
Spare medical material is stored in the closet in the master bedroom along with huge canisters to purify water. | | Read Full Story> |
