BACK COVER BLURB

A heartfelt and inspiring story of one young woman’s brave and adventurous attitude of living each day to the full, following a life-changing diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

In this hard-to-put-down memoir, Kay Allardyce shares her journey with CKD, describing the years leading up to and undergoing a kidney transplant. Her roller-coaster ride of emotions includes diary extracts detailing her lived experience of having a pre-emptive transplant, receiving a donated kidney from her mother and her post-operative recovery.

Undertaking a charity bike ride from London to Paris mere months after transplant surgery is just one example of Kay’s uplifting ambition to embrace the gift of life an organ donation can bring. She expresses her experience of pregnancy and giving birth to two children following her kidney transplant and offers invaluable information and sources of support for women with kidney disease.
