Dialysis/Tough Mudder Training / Sponsorship Finally Moving Forward Consistantly

I would like to share the fact that after my last stay in the Royal Jubilee Hospital that I am feeling better. I have had a number of Dialysis Treatments that have gone through without any problems. They have been able to run my blood through to be cleaned at a speed o 400ml a minute. Last run through ( this is treatment term for cleaning the potassium and other electrolytes out of my blood ) that I have, I ended up cleaning 100.7 Liters of blood. the best so far. However with this process comes extreme fatigue.
I did still make it through a 6 km run, climbed Mt Doug Trail and went to the pool for a hour. It was great to accomplish this and it gives me the mental strength to know that I am right on track for June 23-24th in Whistler B.C. Tough Mudder..
I have been working hard getting information out regarding the disturbing reality that B.C. has the worst Organ Donor Program. We need every ones help to stand up and move forward in any which way they can think of to increase this problem.
I myself being a Kidney Dialysis Patient have had 2 people die that have been either beside me or in front of me that lost the fight because there was no Donor for them. I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF THIS STATISTIC .
 I am available to do and SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS that people would like for me to share my story and journey of leaving Ibiza Spain for better health care, however finding out that the Organ donor program is so far behind many first world countries. I have left my girls and friends and my company to save my life here.
I want to say a big Thank you to Dr. Ganz and all the other Dr's that have been on the team to save my life so far. Next is to all the patient NURSES and helpers at the Renal unit at Royal Jubilee and the Renal Community Centre in Royal Oak.. They are really such Hero's. The after Care program in Victoria is fantastic, the social workers, the Nutritionists and of course the Handy Dart Service that helps get the patients back and forth safely.
To you all, THANK YOU.

I have had my SPONSORSHIP LETTER POSTED ON THE SIDE OF MY BLOG, please have a look. This does take alot of effort and time and I am open to any ideas that will help this movement move smoothly.
Feeling the HOPE AND FAITH coming through.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog,

Fighting the ultimate fight,
Sincerely Kevin
