Money presented to PKRF

Money presentations €18,515 were made last week from two fundraising occasions to James Nolan, founder of the Punchestown Kidney Research Fund.



They were the proceeds of the PKRF participants in the Flora Womens Mini Marathon earlier this year, and from local man Kevin Talbot’s run in the recent Dublin City Marathon. Kevin is the son of Jim and Margaret Talbot.

The money is being used to pay for training machines for home dialysis, according to James, who is himself a kidney transplant recipient and works tirelessly for organ transplant and for dialysis patients.
