Nurses Join Patient On Charity Jump
By Isle of Wight Radio Reporter Sun, 17 June 2012 9:35AM

Three nurses and a patient from the Kidney Dialysis Unit at St Mary’s hospital on the Isle of Wight are jumping out of a plane today (Sunday). 

They’re hoping to raise one thousand pounds and greater awareness of the unit.

The funds will be used to support the dialysis patients and be put towards securing a councillor for those who want help and advice on how to cope with the condition.
