   Police inspector in Abbotsford to donate kidney to fellow officer   
      
      
   ABBOTSFORD — A police officer in Abbotsford is getting far more than guidance   
   and advice from one of his supervisors.   
      
   Det. Roy McBeth of the Abbotsford Police Department is slated to receive a   
   kidney from fellow officer Insp. Kevin Wright on Wednesday.   
      
   McBeth says he was overwhelmed when Wright offered to be a donor after learning   
   of his colleague's challenges with a degenerative kidney disease.   
      
   The 44-year-old detective was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease as a   
   child, a condition which runs in his family.   
      
   The pair have worked together since McBeth joined the Fraser Valley force in   
   2004.   
      
   After their recovery, the two men plan on running a half-marathon relay   
   together in Penticton in August to raise awareness about the Living Organ   
   Program.
