Kidney transplant recipient Michael Mitchell held a hugely successful fundraising coffee morning for the Irish Kidney Association in Rathgormack Hiking Centre on Sunday May 28th as part of Organ Donor Awareness Week. 

Michael received a kidney from his aunt Laurena - who both spoke about their experiences on Deise Today last year. 

As a thank you for his treatment and support, Michael decided to stage a fundraiser and he received huge support from the local community. 

Kieran Foley attended the event and spoke to Michael and Laurena, some of the locals in Rathgormack as well as those involved with the Waterford branch of the Irish Kidney Association.
