Nicola's
help for Fishguard listener
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
Radio Wales' Nicola Heywood-Thomas programme has given hope to a
transplant patient for the first time in four years, says his brother.
Wyn
Williams of Fishguard, contacted Nicola's lunchtime Radio Wales
programme after hearing a phone in about transplants which included
an interview with Dr Richard Moore.
His
letter, which detailed the struggle his brother Brian was having
to be considered for a kidney transplant, was passed to a transplant
co-ordinator who has promised to be in touch with the family to
offer them help.
"We
realise that she won't be able to pluck a kidney from fresh air,
but for my brother Brian, any positive step gives him hope - for
the first time in four years this is just about the first positive
step," wrote Mr Williams in a personal letter to Nicola, which
was accompanied by a large bunch of flowers.
Nicola
said: "It's
fantastic that our programme can really make a difference to some
people's lives. The phone-in is all about giving listeners the opportunity
to air their views and get a chance to tackle some vitally important
issues.
"Wyn's
letter told us a very moving story and all of us on the programme
are delighted that Brian's much needed transplant may be now a step
closer."
