A weekly ride to the Edinburgh Dialysis Unit for Marcus

Could you drive Marcus to the Edinburgh Dialysis Unit on Sunday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Marcus has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Edinburgh Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Marcus can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week. We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 18 km each way. Marcus is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food. Please say which day works for you in the comments. Thank you so much.

    Keep going. Wishing Marcus a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
