Chairman's Corner

These past few weeks since the AGM have been
busy for me and the WKPA Committee.
The magazine has been sent and I hope you have managed to make time to read it especially with Christmas coming up. I particular enjoyed the article on our three Welsh athletes at the British Transplant Games in Belfast. Myself and a few others attended the first meeting of Welsh Government's All Wales Cross Party Kidney
group. It was good to meet all the Assembly
Members who are interested in helping patients by listening to us and then influencing the Minister and Government. A major issue for us is supporting the opt out legislation and I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to write in to provide your views on the opt out. Finally if you have any concern or want some help dealing with your kidney problem then justcontact us

either by phone, letter or email


Patient Gerald Davis, from Bridgend, South
Wales,and Liz Baker, Lead Nurse for Renal
Services, in Morriston Hospital, Swansea,
talk about the new self-care dialysis unit which
is empowering kidney patients and giving them
greater flexibility over their dialysis treatment.
Staff in the unit work with patientsto train them
how to use dialysis machines. Patients can
then either carry out the treatment in their own
homes, or come into the hospital to dialyse
themselves, which offers them increased
flexibility about when they have their treatment.

Martin's Minor - Marathon

Hi and welcome everyone.

My name is Martin Dutson,  I am 47 years old and a dialysis patient. Having lost a kidney aged 4, and until my remaining one failing last year, I was unaware of the fantastic work of the WKPA. This prompted me to do something positive and give something back to society. I love old cars and a challenge , so what better than to put the two together and hence " Martins Minor Marathon ".My car is a 1965 Minor Saloon in need of a little TLC. My marathon is to rebuild her and complete an End to End run from Lands End to John O'Groats for the WKPA. It is planned to start off in Lands End on 27th July 2012 and trundle back to Wales by that evening. Saturday the 28th at about 11am will hopefully take me to Morriston Hospital Swansea, with a few more Minors in tow from the South Wales Morris Minors Owners Club who are sponsoring the WKPA this year by using it as their chosen charity for 2012.After a little chit chat and some camera clicking, some nibbles are planned in the local pub before taking a ride up the Neath Valley to Hirwaun. Then up the A470 to Brecon and on to Hereford before heading up through North Wales where I think the car could do with a well earned rest and myself a CAPD bag change. Sunday morning 29th July, will probably see a few tears as we say goodbye to Wales for a journey north into the unknown !! Anyone who wants to come to Morriston Hospital on 28th July to see the car along with some more classic Minors will be most welcome. Alternatively the SWMMOC are having their annual rally at St. Fagans Museum Cardiff on Sunday 20th May 2012 where everyone is welcome for a great family day out.
