BBC NEWS | Wales | Scout Robert, 13, waits for donor

Teenager Robert Edwards is one of the hundreds in Wales waiting for an organ donor to come forward.

Robert, 13, from Dinas Powys near Cardiff, suffered kidney failure after a virus damaged the organs when he was just three years old.

For two years he has had dialysis 10 hours a night, seven days a week.

His family said it has been hard for him to adjust his life around dialysis, but he tries to lead an active life and enjoys time spent in the Scouts.
