I am taking part in a sponsored cycle ride from London to Paris, along with a team of fellow transplant patients and doctors, to raise money for Transplant Sport and the upcoming European Transplant and Dialysis Games. 

Having received a kidney from my mum 3 years ago, it is important for me to keep healthy, fit and active. Transplant Sport aim to raise awareness of the need for organ donation, encourage transplant recipients to lead active lifestyles and show appreciation for, and remember, donors and their families. 

The upcoming European Transplant and Dialysis Games will be coming to the UK for the first time in August 2022, based in Oxfordshire at Radley College and Blenheim Palace. The Games involve organ transplant and kidney dialysis patients from over 25 European countries. I am hoping to represent Team GB in the cycling events.

The war in Ukraine this year has had a tragic impact on so many people in Ukraine, but none more so than those who have chronic illnesses. Bombing hospitals and blocking supplies of medication and medical equipment has been life threatening for kidney dialysis patients and organ transplant patients dependent on daily medication to survive. Many have left Ukraine and are being supported across multiple European countries. The money raised will help to bring a Team of Ukrainian transplant and dialysis patients to the European Transplant and Dialysis Games.

Please consider donating to this amazing charity, it would mean a lot to me.
