I had kidney failure about 23 years ago and was on haemodialysis for 9 years before getting a cadaveric transplant.

 

After getting a degree in biochemistry from Sussex University, I worked for the Department of the Environment for 13 years and then for English Heritage for 21 years. Since then, I have worked as a consultant, as a trustee for a number of charities, and as a volunteer.

 

I am currently the treasurer for the
West London KPA.
