A Calgary woman who won last year's Mrs. Canada title is hoping she can help a member of Spirit of the West with a serious health problem.

Vince Ditrich, the iconic West Coast band's drummer, has kidney failure and requires dialysis three days a week.

After Angie Shilliday heard that her old friend was sick, she discovered that she was a donor match.

Shilliday immediately offered Ditritch one of her kidneys.

While Shilliday is a donor match, there are still a couple of tests that need to be done, and she is unsure when the surgery will take place.
