A SIBLING of 11 has faced her fear of needles to save the life of her brother by donating a kidney to him.

Cathy Hendrick, 27, underwent major surgery to donate one of her kidneys to 18-year-old brother Callum, who had been told that his had failed.

“About two years ago he was put into hospital,” said Cathy.

“He got pneumonia and that’s when they discovered he had total kidney failure. He was told there and then he needed an operation.”
