The Gift of a Life(time)

David Harper, Superhero.

That has a nice ring to it.

Harper’s secret power has nothing to do with super-human strength or an ability to fly or x-ray vision. He dons neither a cape nor mask. But he does save lives.

Angela Rushford, a 5-year-old suffering from polycystic renal failure (a condition usually seen in older people) received a kidney from Harper, a stranger who happened to see a newspaper ad placed by the girl’s mother.

Both Angela and Harper are recovering from their surgery and should be out of the hospital in a few days.

You can take the Superhero Latency Test here. The quiz is designed to help you identify any potential super powers you may have lying dormant within you.

Or, better yet, be a real hero and donate your blood, bone marrow or your time.
