Story

For people who may not know....

We lost a true gentleman/Legend in December 2021 - Our Grandad Michael. 

Grandad had many years of battling different illness's including a stroke and cancer but ultimately his main battle was always the fact he had only one functioning Kidney. This meant the odds were always against him and due to his age and other health factors was unable to have any treatment for this when it started to fail some years ago. 

Like a true warrior he kept going and his one (abnormally small) Kidney kept him going for years - giving us many more happy memories and precious time with him - which as a family we are truly grateful for.

We now would like to do something which he would of been proud of and help other patients and families who suffer from Kidney disease or failure. Not many understand the importance of this charity and we would like to raise as much awareness and funding as possible. 

Thank you everyone for taking time to read Michaels story :)
