woman appeals for egg donor on buses

I'm not busy tonight, I'm just tired. But I'm still going to point you in the direction of another couple of websites:

Woman Appeals for Egg Donor on Buses
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6420111.stm
A 54-year-old woman and her husband are advertising for an egg donor on London buses in a last-ditch attempt to try to have a baby. Linda Weeks, from Maidstone, Kent, is spending £2,000 on the appeal, which will run for a month from 19 March. Mrs Weeks and her husband Richard got married in 1993, and the 50 adverts include a wedding day photo. "If we don't have any luck this time, then that will be the end for us," Mrs Weeks admitted. Her fertility clinic in London cannot continue to treat her after the age of 55, meaning she has just over a year left to find a donor.

You can read more about Linda Weeks' story on her blog:

And you can also learn more about the egg donor process here:

I don't know why but this is something that interests me. I've researched the process before and I like the idea of helping someone in this way. Have you done it or do you know someone who has?
