Life Note: JJ Hayes
Life Note: KFDI/Wichita morning host JJ Hayes is recuperating at home after donating one of his kidneys to a stranger in need at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. The donation was in honor of his late wife, who was the recipient of a donated kidney, which gave the couple three more years together (CAT 5/4). See Hayes' post-surgery update here; local coverage here.
