Fox 5’s Beth Galvin donating a kidney
Beth Galvin, the long-time Fox 5 medical reporter, today is donating a kidney to an anonymous recipient in Los Angeles, inspired by a Chamblee police captain's similar journey that she covered for the TV station.
I am taking a few weeks off from FOX 5 to do something I've felt led to do. On Tuesday, June 9th at Emory University Hospital, I will become a kidney donor through the Paired Kidney Donor program.
I will be the beginning of a kidney transplant chain that will stretch across the country. I do not know who will receive my kidney, except that it is someone in LA who needs it.
Galvin, who has been at WAGA-TV since 1996, had the surgery today:
