Sydney - The Australian eccentric who sparked a worldwide craze for hugging in public places hopes to do the same for organ donation.
The 26-year-old Sydney resident, who goes by the name of Juan Mann, is offering up his own kidney to a stranger.
"I'm young, I'm fit, I'm healthy, I have two kidneys," he told the city's Sun-Herald newspaper. "I don't really drink. I don't need that second one, and someone will be able to get out of hospital."
Mann became a YouTube luminary when a video showed him embracing strangers. Two years ago, he was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey television show in the United States.
