Richard Pitman – donating a kidney

[betlarge]

Richard has now donated his kidney and is back home:

Fantastic stuff from the man.

Since hearing of his intentions, I converted to the belief that Richard was quite clearly the best jumps’ jockey ever. And nowadays he is obviously the world’s premier racing broadcaster.

Fantastic, selfless thing to do.

Very humbling.

[Coggy]

This is probably the most inspiring post that I have seen on this forum.
I doff my cap to Richard and all the other donors etc.
It really puts everything into perspective.

[Zarkava]

Full agreement with practically every post, especially Paul’s. Opt out, not in.

Wonderful selfless deed by Richard Pitman.

Opt out Opt put !
I’ve just written
in biro all over me chest
I will not donate
to the big O,
a man with a set
of antlers
has got enough in
life already

Richard Pitman comes across
as a bubbly character and
a bit of a joker, but you
can see how much he enthuses
about his racing – but to donate
a kidney to a stranger
put him on another level
in my eyes.

Nathan I would like to echo
what the ghost said.

I would readily send you one of
mine in the post if I could
but both are heavily addicted
to tonic water and what goes
with it, so not fit for purpose

Hope you get one soon my friend

Thanks Gamble.

Good to read Richard has recovered well, early favourite for 2012 Hero of the year……

That’s great Nathan, I’m really happy for you. I hope the recovery continues to go well. Maybe you can join Betlarge Mike and I in our 800m race!

Great stuff Nathan!

Had my transplant in June 2010 and all is going well. If you need any info, advice, whatever, don’t hesitate to message me.

Best wishes,

Mike

Best wishes Nathan

My PB for the 800m amble from Castle Hotel to County Ground is a femtosecond shy of ten minutes but my PB from County Ground back to Castle Hotel rather more than one hour, give or take. Ring any Bells?

Take care

Glad to hear everything’s goes well Nathan.
Echo the calls for "opting out" instead of in. Suspect if it wasn’t for religeous groups it would be in place by now. I carry the card.

Value Is Everything

[Mr. Pilsen]

Good to hear, Nathan. Best wishes for a healthy and happy future to you and yours.

Crikey Nathan, when you said you needed a weekend off the comp scoring because you had something on… I thought you were off shopping or suchlike!

Very, very best wishes.

Glad to hear you’re okay.

Don’t worry about scoring for this week’s comp. Done it

Haven’t donated a kidney, but I do donate blood.

Good health and happiness for the future Nathan, and to Mike too and for highlighting how the gift of a kidney can so dramatically change the lives of children and older people suffering from kidney disease.

If more people were like Richard Pitman and Mikes friend the world would be a happier and healthier place for a lot of folk.

My daughter had Leukemia at 2 and again it came back at 5 years of age in the central nervous system, each time a long hard course of radiotheraphy and chemo got her through and luckily she didn’t need a bone marrow transplant, but if she had we would also have been reliant on the generosity of family and friends. Thankfully she won her fight, but we are great supporters of carrying the card..Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

Hope it all continues to go well for you, Nathan.
