PKD Charity UK My kidney hero is my husband who, worried at my decline, was willing to donate one of his. We heard he was not compatible on same day that I was called in for transplant of kidney from anonymous non-heart beating donor. She is my other hero.

Before the end of #WorldKidneyDay this year, I couldn’t resist resurrecting this post from a previous occasion, fondly remembered as “The time I unwittingly antagonised The Diet Police”! 🫣

We 💛 all our kidney heroes!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the #MyKidneyHero competition.

We wanted to share a few of our incredible entries.
