Twins, Tommy and Jamie Vale are in training to run the London Marathon, which is in its 43rd year, for Kidney Care UK, a cause very dear to their hearts. Tommie and Jamie’s mum Anna’s kidney was an exact match that allowed her to be a donor for their dad Trevor whose polycystic kidneys were failing. It was a hundred thousand chance to be a perfect match which amazingly it was and the operation went ahead at the Royal London Hospital in Mile End 5 years ago and was thankfully a major success. Other members of their family have had transplants and there are over 7 million people in the Uk living with kidney disease so if you are able to give a donation no matter how small it would fantastic. The boys are aiming to raise at least £5,000.
