Man chronicles his gift of kidney to friend in Hillsboro
By Betsy Taylor, Associated Press, April 3, 2008
We like to think there isn't anything we wouldn't do for a friend, but Michael A. Moore has the proof: On Thursday, he donated his kidney to his best friend, and to do so he lost 50 pounds in five months while chronicling his experience in video clips on YouTube.
Stephen Gottschalk, 50, of Hillsboro, Mo., says it's clear his friend Moore, 51, is saving his life. Moore, in return, says Gottschalk has given him a new lease on his own.
