RENSSELAER COUNTY, N.Y. (News10) -- One local teacher gave everything she had to help her coworker in a time of need. Sarah Hurley donated her kidney to save her coworker's husband's life.

"I would do it again in a heartbeat," said Hurley. "If I had a third kidney, I would do it all over again."

Hurley made the decision to get tested for kidney donation when she heard the struggles Jackie Schacht, another teacher in the district, and her husband, Rob Schacht, were going through. She only met Rob a week before the surgery, but said knowing they have two young children compelled her to do anything she could to help them.
