I thought this was a great story -- a sister lost 135 pounds so that she could donate a kidney to her brother.
“In an interesting way, this has worked out so that two lives will have been saved,” Snyderman said. “A kidney life and a life that might have been shortened from obesity. So it’s really an extraordinary sort of double header.”

I know we don't all have motivations like that (goodness, I would actually hope not!) but I thought the story was really sweet.
