She underwent a life-changing kidney transplant at Beaumont Hospital in May 2002.

Liz pointed out, As a young teenager, it was extremely difficult to face an uncertain future with chronic kidney disease. My confidence was shaken up and I often wondered what my future would be like. The gift of the donor kidney has given me a future that most people take for granted. It allowed me to study, travel and meet my life's love and allowed me to share a wonderful life with Peter. ”
