The greatest gift of all

Last year saw a record number of kidney donors – 16 compared to 12 in 2010 – and one of them was Tessie Caruana, whose husband needed a transplant.

In the January issue of Pink magazine, out with The Times tomorrow, the couple talks about the greatest gift of all, about a life spent dealing with renal failure and the opportunity that opened up when the wife discovered she was a good match for the transplant.

They went for it without a moment of hesitation, convinced that what they were doing was for the better, no matter what the outcome. Today, they are living healthier lives and enjoying the benefits of their choices.

In the first issue of the year, Pink also looks back at the women who dominated the news in 2011. It chronicles who will be remembered and what for, simultaneously offering a snapshot of the major – and female-oriented – events of the past 12 months.

Most shops may be on sale but Pink’s fashion pages have still spotted the trend, zooming in on the timelessness, reliability and versatility of jeans.

For the year to come, the horoscopes paint a whole picture of how it will pan out, predicting the future in love, work and well-being.

December 2012 is also meant to mark the end of the world and actress and supermodel Milla Jovovich portrays the stunning natural scenarios that could unfold in a creative calendar shoot.

Pink is a monthly magazine published by Allied Newspapers Ltd, printed by Progress Press and produced by Mediamaker.
