Brittany Hay uses one word to describe the moment she found out she was a perfect match to donate her kidney to her boyfriend — overwhelming.

Hay and her boyfriend Colin Grieve live in Smithfield, around 33 kilometres southwest of Fredericton. Last week they made the trip to Halifax for the life-changing surgery.
Grieve was born with polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that causes fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys.
