Story

On Sunday 18th November 2018 I received the news that a kidney from a deceased donor was a match. Hours later the transplant took place. My blood results are incredible and the doctors have said my kidney function is as good as somebody with 2 kidneys.

Eternally grateful to the donor who took the time to sign up to the organ donor register. The hero I never met. Also thankful to the family he left behind  who were strong enough to think of others in their grief. 

I have decided to take part in this challenge to raise funds for Kidney Research. I will either walk,  8,500 steps a day through to Christmas. to raise money to fund vital research and give hope to a brighter future for kidney patients.Please donate what you can and this Christmas let your gift help to transform treatments and stop kidney disease destroying lives.Merry Christmas and thank you.
