Hi and many thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October 2012 I was diagnosed with a 4cm Stag Horn kidney stone that I aptly named ‘Bambi’. This animal had damaged my left kidney considerably and needed to be released. I spent eight months of discomfort, pain and constant infections as well as having no social life whatsoever before surgery. The pain experienced with kidney stones can be excruciating and they can occur at any age, sadly about half of people who develop a kidney stone will have at least one recurrence at some stage in the future.

Unfortunately none of the registered charities for kidney disease fund the Urology Development Fund for Kidney Stones, therefore having had first hand experienced as a patient at the UHW this year, I understand their great need for improved equipment needed to treat this disease and to fund further research. I am in frequent contact with the kidney stone research team and have their full support.  To date I have single handed raised a Grand total £4,412.63
