He was only 27-years-old 😞

A man who thought his headaches would 'go away' was given a devastating diagnosis after his GP advised him to take a trip down to the A&E.

Graham was diagnosed with kidney failure and had to have dialysis treatment for a number of years from 2019.The 32-year-old told the M.E.N: “When I was told how serious my condition was it was a massive shock. I’d been suffering from headaches, swelling of the ankles, shortness of breath and struggling to move.Shortly after diagnosis, Graham underwent kidney dialysis treatment, which resulted in him having a catheter and using machines overnight to help filter fluids from the blood.

After two years on dialysis, Graham underwent a successful kidney transplant which was donated by his mum in September 2021, he said: “She was really keen to be the one to donate, and it was hard for her too. My mum had to go through a lot and a difficult operation.” Graham along with eight other employees at AO have been able to give back to the charity by completing a 28 km trek from the online electricals retailer’s Bolton headquarters to the AO Arena in Manchester.

“Kidney Research UK have been very involved in all of my treatments so being able to raise so much money for them made the walk more than worth it,” he added.
