Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hi, I'm Tyler. I'm 13years old and on 18th October I will be celebrating my 10 year anniversary of my life saving kidney transplant. To help celebrate, I would love to raise money for Alder Hey who have been there for me since I was 15 days old and helped get me through to transplant stage through different types of dialysis. To do this, I've asked if I can walk to the top of Snowdon with family and team mates.
In 2012, my amazing Grandad stepped up and donated his kidney to me and since then I have been able to live a more normal life. I was only 3 years old when I had my transplant but prior to that, I had multiple operations and hospital visits that I know must have been hard on my Mum and Dad.
I now take a number of different medications to help my body not reject the kidney and I still get seen by Alder Hey every 6 weeks to make sure everythings working well.
I really want to give something back as a thank you and to lift the Alder Hey banner at the summit of Snowdon with the Alder Hey Transplant Team.
Heres to another 10 years of transplant success!
Don't forget to have that conversation about organ donation!
