The Australian 'free hugs man', credited by many to have started the free hugs craze, is to donate his kidney to a complete stranger. The guy, whose real name is unknown, came to worldwide attention in 2004 after a video of him dispensing free hugs in Sydney's central business district appeared on YouTube. He expects to undergo the surgery next year.
"I am young, I am fit, I am healthy, I have two kidneys," said the 26-year-old, "I don't really drink. I don't need that second one and someone will be able to get out of hospital."
He also said that, "I will never meet the (recipient); I will never know if the transplant is a success or a failure; I will never know if my kidney kills the person. Apparently once you give your kidney you will never feel whole. (But) I'll get a cool scar and apparently chicks dig scars."
