Hall County firefighter Chris Huff did not hesitate when he learned that his father, retired firefighter Brad Huff, needed a kidney transplant.
“It was just family…I had the opportunity so I took it,” he said. “There really wasn’t much thinking about it, [Dad] had two options and one option was good, the other was do nothing so it was a pretty easy decision.”
Huff immediately offered to get tested to see if he was a match. When the results came back that he was, he told his dad that he would be willing to donate one of his kidneys.
But Brad Huff was originally skeptical about his son’s offer.
“I wasn’t too keen on it at first because I didn’t want it to jeopardize his career,” he said. “But there’s no talking him out of anything once his mind is made up.”
