My colleagues and I from the Manchester Transplant Lab are participating in a charity dragon boat race at Trafford Water Sports Centre on Sunday 8th May to raise funds for Manchester Royal Infirmary Charity.

Our team name is ORGAN ROWNATION and we will be racing against 15 other teams from our Hospital Trust. The race involves three qualifying heat rounds and a grand final race. We are a competitive bunch, and really want to win!

Your donation would be much appreciated as it will help to make a difficult time easier for patients at our hospital at what can be a very emotional and daunting time.

Our fundraising efforts will be used to support the treatment, research and care provided to our patients each and every day.
