A good story for a change. A former Marine hears the call one more time, and nabs himself a beautiful young wife for his efforts and sacrifice:
When Christopher Dempsey offered to donate half his liver to a complete stranger, he knew it would be a life-changing experience.
What the former marine didn't know was that he would be saving the life of the woman who would become his wife.
But less than two years after Mr Dempsey called Heather Krueger to reveal he was a match, the two were married.
The love story began with a conversation overheard in a workplace break room in Frankfort, a village south of Chicago, Illinois.
Miss Krueger had stage four liver disease, and had been ill for about two years already when doctors told her she only had a 50% chance of surviving another two months without a transplant.
Her family were in a race against time to find her a donor - a hugely difficult task in a country with more than 119,000 people on its transplant waiting lists.
That was where code enforcement officer Mr Dempsey came in.
