Original Toronto Star caption: Three days a week, Dannie LeBlanc, 27, travels to Toronto from Waterloo to receive dialysis treatment because hospitals near his home don't have the facilities. Dannie is one of more than 120 people waiting for kidney transplants in Metro hospitals. The transplant could mean freedom for Dannie from life-and-death attachment to machine. Here nurse Arlene Gamble takes his blood pressure before he goes on machine.
