Kidney Patient Guide

Thanks so much for doing that Holz! I will take a look! xxx

I'm trying to get in touch with a lovely lady called Sally Croll who is a kidney transplant recipient. She sent me a brilliant photo of her abseiling down a building which I used for the last LLTGL awareness slideshow but this was 2 years ago and my computer has crashed since then so I no longer hav...

Hi everyone I'm Emma, joint-founder and trustee of the charity 'Live Life Then Give Life' (www.lltgl.org.uk) Back in 2006 we launched two awareness-raising slideshows to promote organ donation and the Gift of Life to the public. You can watch them both here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t70726nahx...

Don't worry JMan, I don't think Sarah sees it all as a fairytale as she knows children/adults who have had serious complications afterwards and has also had these clearly spelt out to her as regards her little boy (who has recently had a small bowel transplant). However I think its really good to sh...

A new and exciting photographic project is being launched by a lady called Sarah Milne (whose little boy William recently had a small bowel transplant). It is called "Gifts of Life" and I have copied and pasted the details Sarah has written about it below. If you are interested in finding ...

Thanks Helen, really appreciate knowing this. I had also noticed an Anup Nahar on Facebook but wasn't sure if she was the right lady, but I'll give her a try! Hope you are well, we must get in touch and catch up! x

OK, this is a bit of a long-shot but its worth a try! Here at LLTGL we are planning a big fashion show in London to raise awareness of organ donation and transplantation and to raise funds which will be used to help transplant patients. Does anyone on here have any contacts in the fashion industry t...

Hi guys I was wondering if you could help me! I am trying to contact Anup Nahar who organises the annual "Walk In Love and Hope" to raise money for Kidney Research UK. I have tried both email addresses I found for her on the internet and also tried emailing through the contact form on the ...

Thanks for the update JMan, I'm so glad Nelly could be at home for Xmas Day and really hope she will be out of hospital soon. Sending you a ton of love Nelly! xxx

Hi everyone Apologies if this has already been posted but Nelly has asked me to pass this on to you all... She went into St Mary's London for an operation on Thursday but got very ill afterwards (on Sunday) so was transferred to the Hammersmith with a temperature of 40 and shivering and everything :...

A MASSIVE thank you to all of you who signed the petition (I recognised many of your names on the list!) With your help the petition passed the 11,000 signature mark before it closed!! You're all stars

I have happily signed up, but the petition is specific to bone marrow donation which is clearly somewhat different as those are live donors, so it would have been nice to see it to organ and tissue donation in the wider sense. Sorry I should have mentioned this! Although the petition says just bone...

Hey everyone! I'm hoping I can enlist the support of the fantastic KPG community be getting as many of you as possible to sign a petition that is being delivered to 10 Downing Street tomorrow. It's part of a campaign to get the government to make it an obligation of colleges to provide education on ...

I've had a media request from the West Dumbartonshire Reporter who are looking for someone in that area who is either awaiting a transplant or who has received one. If you fit this description and would be interested in being featured in an article promoting organ donation, please email me at: emma ...

Thanks Mandy! Someone else from this forum has also made the same suggestion and as soon as we have some printed material to be put up, I will send it to all those who can put it up. Many thanks again!
