A mum of two has lost 54kg in a secret weight-loss mission to donate a kidney to her sick husband.

Perth’s Cynara Stalenhoefand her husband Matt found out he had been diagnosed with an extremely rare genetic condition known as Tubular Sclerosis in 2015.

The condition sees tumours spread throughout the body including the brain, lungs and heart.

Mr Stalenhoef needed a kidney transplant, his wife offered but was told she couldn’t.

“I’ve got this doctor telling me I can’t save any of my family’s lives because I like cake too much,” said Ms Stalenhoef.

At the time, the mum of two was more than 108kg at 157cm tall.After a strict exercise and diet regime, she lost 54kg and will now wait until her grateful husband is well enough to undergo transplant surgery.

We need to be informed and the world needs to be kept accountable.

But in an era of digital disruption and falling news audiences, the media must take a different view on what news is, and how stories are constructed.

Negative emotions have served us well during an age of flight or fight. But it’s the positive emotions that drive society forward – and that is the era we are currently stepping into.

Media has the power to move society and send a positive ripple out into the world.
