## Resource

30 years ago, Gini struck up a conversation with a stranger on the tube, which would change both her and the stranger’s lives forever. Despite having no knowledge of the process, Gini agreed to donate her eggs to a complete stranger. She shares her extraordinary story with Dr Alex George, revealing what made her so certain she wanted to perform such a selfless act, what it was like hiding her egg extraction while living with her in-laws and why she believes that a karmic connection may have led to this incredible meeting.  It’s only this year that Gini has gone public with this extraordinary story, so you don’t want to miss it.  Follow @ginibhogal Order Alex’s latest book Am I Normal? - out now!
