When a Florida woman learned she could safely be a live kidney donor to an old high school classmate, she never hesitated.
For Black Americans, lack of 'rigorous scientific evidence' led to test that leaves some off kidney transplant list
When she decided to step up her own fitness during the pandemic, she changed careers, becoming a health coach, helping elevate not just her own strength, but that of others. Little did Miley know that would help put her in a better position to save someone's life. Miley responded: “Because I share the same kinds of things: It’s all about positivity. It’s about uplifting and health.”
Once she did tell Fowler she was seriously considering donating her kidney, Fowler was grateful."Why did you choose me?" she asked.“I have O-positive blood," she thought."What would this be like? … I have big empath kind of qualities and I felt really, really bad for her.""Nineteen years ago, maybe, I was a surrogate for a couple. And that’s something else ‘Why would you do that?’ I don’t know. I loved being pregnant," Miley said.

While most kidney donors experience pain for one to two weeks after the surgery, Miley's was milder than she expected.
