kidney disease affects three million people in the UK. 

Many survive on dialysis whilst waiting for a

suitable  organ. 

 

Some, like the producer of DONATE, have their hopes and prayers answered.

 

 Andrew and his family have  experience of kidney disease, organ donation.... AND television and film PRODUCTION.  

That's a pretty GOOD  skillset for producing a film about kidney disease and organ donation!!!
