Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

In 2001 my son suffered renal failure and spent 20 months on dialysis before receiving a living donor transplant from his father. Un forturtunatey in 2013 this failed many people think transplant is a cure it is not its a treatment as is dialysis 3 people die every day whilst waiting on a transplant dialysis is a gruelling regime being hooked up to a machine 3 times a week for approx 6 hours is not a choice its vital in treating a person whilst they wait for a transplant, for others this will be their life as for many resons they are not well enough for transplant due to other factors. A leading researcher has told me that 2 years ago he would not have believed that it was possible to grow a kidney in lab conditions but it has been done this gives hope for stem cell therapy in the future but ...... this needs funding and thats why I ask for your support.

Thank you every penny helps no amount too small
