Hi my name is Georgia Rainbow. I am from London, England.
I came to learn about dialysis through my friend James who died last July. He had HD, and i have been trying to learn a lot more about dialysis especially with young people like myself and there families.
I'm 21, i am in my final year at university studying Media Production, as my final year project for my degree I will be making a documentary. This will be dedicated to James, as my documentary will be titled; Life on Dialysis: Hope, Loss and Relief are these the only options? On this journey will see three different families who have all been affected by the treatment "Dialysis". The documentary will see the insight of the children who went through the treatment and also the families who was there for them and how they were all affected.
I would really like to hear your opinions and your stories.
:)

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty. The glass is just twice as large as it needs to be.
