Son sacrifices sport ... and kidney ... to keep mum alive

Alan Healy is giving up his weekend soccer game so he can give his mother Helena a second chance of life.

The pair will go to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin next week, when Alan will donate a kidney to his mother.

The rare son-to-mother transplant will mean that, for a while, Alan will give up his weekend five-a-side tournaments and his stints at the gym.
