Oxford Half Marathon · 14 October 2012 ·

The Oxford Transplant Foundation is an independent charity established to raise funds for the sole benefit of the Oxford Transplant Centre. The Foundation raises funds that are used to enhance the Centre's facilities and to promote research in transplantation. It is devoted to the dissemination of information about the latest medical developments and their implications for improving patient care. The Foundation provides opportunities for stakeholders of the Oxford Transplant Centre -- from patients, doctors, through to carers and scientists -- to work together in continuing to build the Centre's reputation as a world leader in transplantation.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have chronic kidney disease (CKD).  I have dialysis at the Churchill hospital in Oxford three times a week which is keeping me alive.

I'm running this half marathon for several reasons.

1) I like to run.

2) To raise funds for OTF.  It would be a waste of all this training if it didn't benefit a charity as well.

3) To raise awareness about organ donation.  Did you realise that you might be able to be a live kidney donor?  Don't worry, I'm not asking you for a kidney, just your cash.  My wife Sherry is giving me one of her kidneys.

4) To help me to be in good physical condition for when I have my transplant.

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.
