Story
Rose has a rare genetic condition which has caused her to have numerous health problems. Following nearly two years of dialysis, and at 3 years old, Rose had a kidney transplant in October 2011.
Having a transplant has meant a more normal life for Rose, however it takes a lot of hard work and care to maintain it as it is a treatment rather than a cure. Chestnut Tree House have been there for Rose and many others like her through her recovery and treatment.
To celebrate 10 years of life, Rose will be walking 10km on the 10th of October 2021 and would like to raise money for the charity that has taken such good care of her.
