THRIVING: Sally Nagle, aged 26, is marking the tenth anniversary of her kidney transplant this year with a fundraising event. I battled bone disease, got a new kidney, but now my life’s on trackTO be told you have an incredibly rare bone disease at just five years old is a hard enough start to life. Then she underwent a kidney transplant, an event which signalled a turning point and the start of a new beginning for her. Now aged 26, Sally’s life is back on track and she is planning an event to raise funds for the Irish Kidney Association later this year. Marlese Walsh, a volunteer with the Irish Kidney Association and mother of a 16-year-old kidney transplant patient, thinks raising awareness about Cork children with kidney disease is especially crucial.
