As transplant recipients we're used to following advice to ensure we protect our own health and respect our donors and the NHS staff who saved our lives. Don't try and find loop holes, follow the advice - it's for your own good and will help save lives! https://t.co/RM6JP3cQ3h

Last night we lost another member of our team & family. Simon Batch passed away after a brave fight against cancer. One of a kind, a free spirit who was most happy on 2 wheels - in the Himalayas, crit circuit or doing wheelies on the high st. Our thoughts go out to his family.

[Transplant Swimmers @TransplantSwim]

We are run by volunteers and don't receive any central funding, so fundraising efforts like this make a HUGE difference in what we are able to offer in terms of training weekends, kit etc. Please help support us by helping Jeff get to his target! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️
