Dad donates kidney to stranger after daughter's transplant- PublishedA father has donated a kidney to a stranger after his own daughter received her own life-changing kidney from a donor.Arfon Jones, from Cardiff, joined a living donor scheme although he found he was not a match for daughter Seren, 19, who became seriously unwell and ended up having both kidneys removed.While Seren was awaiting a kidney, the family came across the NHS's living donor scheme and, although Mr Jones was not a match, he felt compelled to help others."After Seren got her new kidney, she was told that I could get off the living donor list and that's when I had a very strange experience," said Arfon.He had the procedure in December and said: "It felt like I'd given someone quite a nice Christmas present and it was nice to know that I'm healthy enough to donate a kidney given that I'm almost 70.""
