Hello and Welcome to my website, www.TransplantFriends.co.uk, which is all about me, my life and much much more! My name is Claire and I am 26 years of age. I have created this website for several reasons. I want to let friends and others know about me and my life as a kidney transplant patient, my family, and my fantastic superb husband Jamie, who I love to bits! We got married on the 16th June 2001 and had a wonderful day! UK - National Kidney Federation

UK - Transplat Patients Trust of Great Britain
The Trust was inaugurated in 1991 when it became apparent that no charity existed to support transplant patients with severe hardship. A failed transplant can have disastrous consequences and even a successful one may leave the family with serious poverty. Years of ill health and loss of employment before transplantation can be followed by inability to secure a job even if full fitness is restored.
