Hi everyone thanks for visiting my 'just giving' page.

Kidney research is close to my heart.  My dad has undergone haemodialysis for 13 years, with three days each week hooked up to a machine for five hours each time.  He is a great inspiration to me, never complaining and still working as a doctor to help other people.This year for the first time in 13 years we are taking him on a dialysis holiday for a week.

This is possible through charities like Northern Counties Kidney Research fund, improving dialysis and kidney transplantation.  By conducting research new therapies have come into place, as well greater understanding of kidney disease. This has changed the lives of adults and children in the north.

After two years of ill health myself I am determined to cycle 150 miles from whitehaven to tynemouth coast for this charity.

Please DIG DEEP and donate something to this very worthy fund - no amount is too small!
