MOTHERLY LOVE: Louise Martin is getting fit and healthy enough to donate a kidney to daughter Lisa should it ever be needed.

Louise Martin had tried to lose weight a few times over the years with no success.

Then she found out she could one day save her daughter Lisa's life by slimming down and getting healthy enough to donate a kidney.

"There's real motivation behind it now," the northwest mum says. "What could be more motivating than your child's life?"

Nine-year-old Lisa had trouble putting on weight from day one and only managed to gain 1kg in the first four months of life.

She was diagnosed with kidney problems around her first birthday after months of hospital visits and has a polycystic kidney, which is covered in cysts, as well as a urinary reflux problem.

Lisa has ongoing problems and there is a chance she may one day need a transplant.

She is among the many children who will benefit directly from Project Kidney, a fundraiser being run by the Mad Butcher and Suburban Newspapers Community Trust

Proceeds will help buy four haemodialysis machines for the first-ever national dedicated Paediatric Haemodialysis Unit at Starship Hospital.
