Hi Lory,

How are you? My name is Dan, I'm 30 years old from Bristol, England. I hope you dont mind, but I am looking to increase the awareness of renal failure and what is required with regards to kidney dialysis. I had a previous transplant attempt last year from my father but unfortunately failed, and now I have developed antibodies against my mother so I need desensitisation therapy first before I can try with donation from her which should be in the next month - 6 weeks.

I was recently rejected for making a disability claim from my local council offices in the UK and I think this is wrong and that more renal patients should be given better access to help when required so I have set up a petition website at:

www.ipetitions.com/petition/renalparkingrights

Its free to sign up and you will be helping potentially hundreds if not thousands in the UK with recognition. I am approaching people with kidney failure or who have come through the other side, as Im sure you will understand the difficulties experienced first hand.'

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Hey Lori,
Nice to hear from you. I forget, what transplant did you have? Congrats on going to the games. I have only been once to Minneapolis. I really want to try to get to Australia or next time in the states. We should try to get together for lunch or something. Where are you living? I am in Pasadena. My organs are doing quite well!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
