- BY KAREN ROCKETT

A WOMAN who gave a colleague a kidney has been given an award for an “outstandin­g act of kindness and selflessne­ss” by her bosses.

Ninon Ferguson, 36, helped Stuart Middleton after a transplant he received from his mother failed.

The Edinburgh mum said: “I did it for his two young sons. My son is the same age as his eldest,

SELFLESS and when I heard I couldn’t bear imagining his sons losing a dad.”

She works for energy firm Intergen, whose financial controller David Bogie said: “It takes something special to give a part of you to a work colleague.”

Stuart, 46, said he was incredibly lucky and described her generosity as “incomprehe­nsible”. He said: “I don’t think there are many colleagues who would do this.”

Over 100 Brits a year donate a kidney to a stranger.
