Diane Lee Reporting Live with 1 Less Kidney
Diane Lee is an Emmy nominated anchor and two-time Emmy Award winning reporter with more than 20 years of broadcast news experience.
Diane is currently the 7NEWS Consumer Anchor. Her exclusive reports focus on warning them about scams as well as highlighting money saving tips and investigating consumer issues. Diane’s “Here to Help” focus gives her a platform to assist viewers with any issues or questions they have, something that aligns with her desire to uplift others (a value that led her to donate a kidney to a stranger in 2023).
In this episode of Donor Diaries, we get a peek into Diane’s brain, just 3 weeks post-surgery to get a view of what donation looks and feels like right after it happens! Laurie and Diane discuss some of the surprises that can emerge post donation. Not just the physical kind, but the mental and emotional ones that sometimes pop up when we attach to specific outcomes for ourselves or our recipients.
