I am enjoying the fundraising more than I expected! My motive was simple; I have a husband who, in June 2022, developed Goodpasture's out of the blue, and went from being a strong fit man in his early 70s to being permanently exhausted.

The staff at the Renal Unit of the Northern General in Sheffield saved his life as his immune system destroyed both kidneys and started to attack his lungs.
