The perfect match: Girlfriend to give boyfriend a kidney
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man found his perfect match in more ways than one when he first met his girlfriend on a golf course last summer.
Forty-nine-year-old Jack Simard of Manchester is slated for his second kidney transplant around Valentine's Day and the donor is his girlfriend, Michelle LaBranche.
WMUR-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1IJV4sJ ) the two avid golfers met at Stonebridge Country Club in Goffstown and fell in love. When LaBranche found out Simard was seeking a kidney donor, she tested to see if she was eligible without telling him.
Doctors were surprised that her kidneys turned out to be compatible.
