Darlindas Charity For Renal Research
(UK, SCO09765) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, SCO09765) Darlinda‘s Charity for Renal Research was the vision of one very special woman... Rita Madhok - who was known professionally as Darlinda - was the astrologer/psychic known to millions of newspaper readers for her weekly column in the Sunday Mail, Scotland‘s biggest-selling newspaper. Through the column, her broadcasting and personal appearances, Darlinda became a household name. When she was hit by a series of health problems - and in particular renal failure - Rita decided to give something back to the hospital and the carers who looked after her through months of ill-health which included renal dialysis and a kidney transplant. That hospital was Glasgow‘s Western Infirmary. The carers and medics were in the hospital‘s prestigious renal unit. For Rita, giving something back meant the launch of a new charity back in 1987 and since then the fundraising has never ceased. Sadly Rita died in 1995 but through her husband Dr Rajan Madhok DL and a handful of friends and supporters the work of the charity continues today. Since 1987 more than £950,000 (total at June, 2012) has been donated to the renal unit - an incredible total for a charity which relies on a small group of committee members supported by some very loyal and generous friends and associates.

Sohana Research Fund
(UK, 1084958SRF) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Sohana is a happy, positive 10 year old, despite having a very severe genetic skin condition called Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB). She is missing a vital protein cement (collagen 7) in her skin, making her incredibly fragile. This leads to skin loss or blistering at the slightest knock or rub. The condition is incredibly cruel and Sohana's type is progressive, life-threatening and very painful. Both external and internal skin are affected, so eating is always painful and if she suffers an abrasion to surface of her eyes, she is rendered temporarily blind. She lives an exhaustive routine of having blisters lanced, being covered in bandages, hospital visits and constant pain. If you met Sohana, she would bounce up to you with a huge smile. You would hear about her plans for the future, hear her sing her favourite songs, describe her favourite book. She has a zest for life and a fierce determination to live life to the full, to find humour in its misfortunes and to wear optimism proudly on her chest. Behind her immensely brave happy smile however, lies a deep yearning to have even one day, one minute, one second, without pain. The Sohana Research Fund was set up by Sohana's parents in late 2010 and is working to raise funds on behalf of DEBRA, the UK registered Charity for Epidermolysis Bulllosa (EB) sufferers, with a focus on research into effective treatments and eventually a cure for this devastating condition.
