Scots man paid tribute to 'wonderful wife' who donated kidney
Mohammed Asim Afzal, from Newton Mearns , said he wouldn't be here without Asim's generous donation in 2012.
Twelve years since the transplant, Asim's kidney continues to function well he said he is forever grateful to Noor. In the UK, Black and South Asian people are more likely to develop kidney disease. However, a shortage of kidney donors from these communities is one reason that people from these backgrounds wait longer on average for a transplant than white people.
The walk, divided into 1.5- and 6.5-mile routes, will begin at the Glasgow Science Centre and take participants over a series of bridges and past several popular Glaswegian landmarks. “Before kidney disease, I had never played any sport and was significantly heavier than I am now. Experiencing everything gave me a newfound gratitude for my health, motivating me to not waste this precious second chance.
