This charity has helped my family loads as my grandad and auntie have both had kidney transplants in the past from other family members and donors. This charity helped make the transplants possible and supported throughout the process. To show our support im going to run the sheffield 10k and my other family members are taking part in the transplant games with SAKA to help raise awareness for different tranplants.
