WKD events - London & Manchester

I gather that the NKF is organising a 'balloon launch' for WKD, this Thursday, 13 March, at 10.15am in Potters Field (at the south end of Tower Bridge, next to Ken Livingstone's big funny shaped HQ building). I'm planning to be there.

Also, the Polycystic Kidney Disease Charity is organising a reception in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry on Friday 14 March from 6-8pm. Full details here.

The main attractions are the UK 'Renal Tsar' Donal O'Donoghue and geneticist, Dr Anand Saggar who will be talking about some very exciting new research affecting people with PKD.

They've also invited me up to play some jazz (for which I'm delighted to say that I'll be accompanied by two of the best musicians in the country, Kathy Dyson on guitar, and Steve Berry on bass) and to speak about living donor transplants. If you know anyone in the Manchester area, do send them along. Admission is a £2.50 donation to the charity.
