It is with the greatest sadness that the Kidney Support Network advises our Members, Volunteers, friends and families of the passing of our angel, Lyndal Clark. Lyndal has led our Childhood Kidney Support Program as Volunteer Coordinator for several years, providing support to many families and children who have faced the challenges of Kidney Disease and the rigours of kidney dialysis and kidney transplant. Those who have been fortunate to meet Lyndal and share the Chronic Kidney journey, will know what an amazing selfless lady we have all lost. Lyndal herself faced many health challenges through her life, including Kidney Disease, and yet gave of herself and her time to so many families in Queensland, across Australia and across the World, whenever support was needed.

If backed by the State Government, this proposal would enable KSN to once again deliver support services across Regional and Metropolitan Queensland for all kidney patients. KSN received very positive receptions on each occasion as we presented information on the KSN organisation, our amazing volunteers, the valuable support services we provide...
