Goodsorts: Liz Alexander

October 22, 2017

She experienced the ripple effect from watching 1 NEWS' Goodsorts.

Liz Jones felt inspired after watching Good Sorts and decided to become a Good Sort herself.

The story was that of Leanne Bateman who donated a kidney to a coffee shop owner.

Ms Jones followed and donated a kidney of her own, to a stranger.

Not able to have kids, she decided that this was the best way to pass on a legacy and help someone along the way.
