Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Glen Taylor and in 2007 i was given 6 months to live unless a suitable donor could be found. I was in desperate need of a double Transplant, Kidney and Pancreas. It is very difficult to get a single Transplant and more often then not the Transplant doesnt arrive in time, So i thought my chances of getting a Double Transplant were slim and i was facing death. Not nice. I was lucky, in july 2007 I was called in to be told a suitable donor had been found and i had a chance. Without doubt i was just weeks away from death with my organs failing very quickly. My Transplant took place on July 12th 2007 at Addenbrookes hospital Cambridge and was a success. I had been given my life back. From that moment on i made a promise to myself and to my unknown donor to stay fit and give my new organs the best chance possible to give me a new and happy life. It was while i was in hospital i discovered TSUK a charity that gives Tranplant patients the chance to get together and compete at all different sports. As the name suggests this is a charity and we need to raise our own funds to go compete. I need funds to go to Bath for the British Transplant games and the European Transplant games in Sweden. I have fought back from near death to full fitness so having these chances are a dream come true. Please help me get to these fantastic sporting events. TSUK are a charity and organise many events for Transplant patients in the United Kingdom. Without help and sponsership Charities like TSUK would not be able to do the fantastic work they do.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
