My story

 

The Difference Kidney Dialysis Appeal aims to raise £120,000 to support the expansion of the Dialysis Unit at the Borders General Hospital.

Our kidneys do a very important job, acting as a filter system within our body to remove waste products from the blood. When they fail a machine has to do their job for them. This treatment is called haemodialysis and is a lengthy and uncomfortable process where the blood is passed from the patients' body into a machine, cleaned in a artificial kidney, and then returned to the body. The treatment lasts between 4 and 5 hours and takes place 3 times per week, every week.

By donating to the Kidney Dialysis Appeal you will help make a difference to the lives of dialysis patients in the Borders, by providing them with additional equipment, facilities and services to benefit them whilst they are receiving their life saving treatment.

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 us and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting our costs.

So please dig deep and donate now - thank you.
