Incredible bond between friends following kidney donation
A golf instructor whose kidneys suddenly stopped working said he is forever thankful to his childhood friend who stepped in to make an immensely generous offer. Two years ago, Ben Todd, 40, a golf instructor from Bath who now lives in Dubai, was rushed to hospital after his blood pressure started going through the roof. Doctors found that the creatinine (a waste product removed by the kidneys) in Ben’s blood was 17 times the normal level and he was immediately placed on a week of continual dialysis. Ben was told he had unknown primary kidney disease – both his kidneys had stopped working and started to shrink without any known cause. Before this, Ben was living a healthy life. He frequently worked out at the gym and never suffered any illnesses so his diagnosis came as a huge shock. He now faced having dialysis three times a week in order to stay alive – unless donor organ become available. He said: “It was really difficult to take. It was a shock and it changed my life completely. “Going on holiday was difficult. My job as golf instructor was affected – dialysis really takes it out of you and I just didn’t have as much energy I used to have. It puts a lot of restrictions on your life which also affected my wife and son.” Sadly, no one in his family was able to donate a kidney – and that meant waiting for a deceased donation. Ben said being reliant on dialysis and being always prepared for an organ donation which could come at any time was really tough. “You get to the point where you are just waiting for the call,” he said. “You start to going from optimistic to pessimistic. It eats away at you.” Then, after two years of waiting, it felt like a miracle when someone Ben hadn’t seen since he was a child offered to donate one of his kidneys. Alexis Tjolle, 45, had grown up as friends with both Ben and his sister Annie. …. The surgery went ahead in June at the Royal Free London Private Patients Unit (RFL PPU)– funded by Ben’s Dubai health insurance. Both Alexis and Ben have made good recoveries. Ben and Alexis were looked after by our MDT teams, our live donor kidney transplant Clinical Nurse Specialist, Catherine O’Malley, and led by our consultants: Dr Rhys Evans (Associate Professor of Renal Medicine and Consultant Nephrologist), Dr Philip Masson (Consultant Nephrologist), Mr Prodromos Makis Laftsidis (Consultant Kidney Transplant and Vascular Access Surgeon), Mr Ammar AlMidani (Consultant Renal Transplant and Vascular Access Surgeon), Dr Anish Amlani (Consultant Anaesthetists) and Dr Marc Wittenberg (Consultant Anaesthetist).

Today marks one year since my kidney transplant - a milestone that still takes my breath away. This year hasn’t just been about recovery; it’s been about gratitude, humility, and a renewed appreciation for things once taken for granted: energy, family, and hope. A transplant isn’t an ending, it’s a beginning, and a second chance built on responsibility, resilience, and deep respect for the science and humanity behind it. That chance exists because of my donor, my friend, Ryan Laster. He changed the trajectory of my life and is now forever part of my family. I can never fully repay that gift. I’m profoundly grateful to my surgeon Mr Ammar AlMidani and the extraordinary teams at the Royal Free and Edgware General Hospitals. Their expertise saved me and their compassion carried me through recovery. To my family and my close friends, your unwavering support kept me strong when it mattered most. And to my colleagues at Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, thank you for the support that allowed me to focus on healing. This year reshaped how I see life and work. Strength isn’t endless pushing - it’s listening, accepting help, and showing up with a new focussed purpose. If you’re on a health journey, or supporting someone who is - keep going. Progress isn’t always obvious. Today I pause, reflect, and move forward deeply grateful for renewed life. One call to action: if you are fit and well, please consider being an organ donor. You can save a life and rebuild a family. #savealife #kidneydonation #rebuildafamily #NationalKidneyFoundation #KidneyResearchUK #NHSOrganDonation | 59 comments on LinkedIn
