Channel Swimmers 07/08 · 20 July 2008 ·

We are the largest charity dedicated to kidney research in the UK. Kidney disease ruins and destroys lives. Treatments are gruelling, relentless. There is no cure. We say this isn't good enough. We will transform kidney health. Kidney disease ends here.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am part of a Channel Swim team made up of people who have had organ transplants. I have had a kidney transplant. The rest of the team is Geoff McCracken (Kidney), Turlough O'Hagan (Bone Marrow), Ernesto Antonio (Heart), Steve Deakin (Kidney) and Helen Hayton (Kidney). We will be swimming the Channel sometime close to the 23 August 2008 (weather permitting).

We are promoting awareness of the Organ Donor Register and encouraging people to sign up. None of us would be able to do such an event without having had 'the gift of life' from another person. For more information see www.uktransplant.org.uk

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Kidney Research UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks
