Praising Brian and his partner Elaine, Kidney Care UK Northern Ireland Ambassador Jo-Anne Dobson said: “Brian and Elaine organised a hugely successful awareness and fundraising evening held on Valentine’s weekend at Garvagh Rangers Supporters Club.

“I send my grateful thanks on behalf of Kidney Care UK to everyone who helped to make this evening such a huge success in coming along to support Brian and his efforts on behalf of his fellow kidney patients,” she added.

Kidney Care UK provides dedicated support and assistance to kidney patients including dialysis patients, transplant recipients and those waiting on a transplant, and their families across the local renal units including at Altnagelvin Area Hospital.
