"DON'T YOU QUIT"


This blog is a first for me, it describes part of my life before, sometimes during and after tranplant. working towards recovery, charity kayak (uk circumnavigation & Ireland) if humanly possible, and leg, and how I deal with my diabetes during training and expedition, maybe some inspiration along the way.

"No man has ever been born a Negro hater, a Jew hater, or any other kind of hater. Nature refuses to be involved in such suicidal practices."
Harry Bridges


"From the viewpoint of absolute truth, what we feel and experience in our ordinary daily life is all delusion. Of all the various delusions, the sense of discrimination between oneself and others is the worst form, as it creates nothing but unpleasant"
Dalai Lama

Your body is failing, you realise how fragile you are, your surroundings seem sharper, colour and smell, there's a feeling that travels through every nerve and tissue, I'm leaving, I can't, what about the people I love, I can't leave them with this
Then there's a chance for life, a transplant the doctor comes to your bedside, your consumed with anticipation, "I'm very sorry my friend but your not a complete match we thought your skin colour was the same, and you obviously speak a different language, If you only lived in another part of the world!!!"
Prejudice and Discrimination.


Would you refuse a transplant for a daughter or son or yourself because you didn't speak the same language as the donor?.
