As you know my son is a renal dialysis patient. A couple of weeks ago my brother was tested as a possible donor.
We just got the results today.
My brother is not just a match but a GOOD match
Provided my brother passes all the assessment tests Ian should have his transplant in the next 3 to 6 months and be able to lead a normal, healthy (cycling) life
What a truly wonderful man my brother is.

Awesome news! I hope that I could be strong enough to do the same if one of my nieces were ill. Best wishes for good health to your brother and Ian.
