    Story

    In February 2019 I donated a kidney to my daughter. She had been on dialysis for two years & the surgery has transformed her life. We were moved by the support we received from the Ysbyty Gwynedd Kidney Patients Association & by meeting people who had been waiting years for a organ.

    I‘m going to walk from the renal unit at Ysbyty Alltwen, Porthmadog to the renal unit at Ysbyty Gwynedd Bangor, over 25 miles, in one day.

    I’m hoping to raise money for the charity, raise awareness of the need for organ donors, the importance of discussing your wishes with your loved ones & raise awareness of altruistic donation, where a person donates to a stranger.

    I’m training hard for the walk & hoping to do it on February 14th.

      https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/dialysis/ Here’s a link to the NHS pages about dialysis. They make interesting reading but they don’t explain just how exhausting & debilitating it is. Yes it keeps you alive but you’re never actually well. This amazing charity I’m raising money for help all kidney patients have a better quality of life. Please donate, all donations welcome no matter how small 😊

    What is crowdfunding?

    Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

    The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

    Great people make things happen

    Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

    Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
