We raise awareness to promote living kidney donation

Story

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of donating my spare kidney to a stranger, I am supporting a group cycling 500 miles from Edinburgh to Oxford during Organ Donation Week 2023, stopping off at transplant centres around the UK enroute raising awareness of living kidney donation and to show people you can lead a full and healthy life with only one kidney.

Illness and injury is preventing me from taking the active part I wished to, however I hope to ride parts of the route and will support the team and media activities throughout.

This year will also mark the 1000th living kidney donation to a stranger.  Give a Kidney is the foremost charity raising awareness and supporting donors.There are more than 5000 people in the UK in need of a kidney with about 250 people dying annually because of insufficient kidneys available for transplant. On the team we have both donors and recipients taking part.

Thank you - your support is greatly appreciated!

P.S.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

There are almost 5,000 people waiting for a life-changing kidney transplant and yet millions of us have two healthy kidneys & need only one. We aim to raise awareness of non-directed living kidney donation to support those considering donation and to publicise why more donors are needed.
