Two reasons really.......
In September I'll be 50 - a whole half century and that set me thinking...
But more importantly I have a younger brother, David, who over twenty years ago suffered kidney failure. In the time since he's had a couple of transplants, suffered a great deal but always managed to remain positive and bring up four great kids.
Earlier this year, following second transplant surgery he almost lost his donated kidney due to rejection. But for the knowledge, sheer hard work, dedication, professionalism and care of all of the staff of Manchester Royal Infirmary Renal Unit he would have lost the kidney. The Renal unit at MRI are world leaders in organ rejection research. This is my way of giving something back to them.
