Renault Ireland has presented a Renault Captur 1.5 dCi Intense to Rathfarnham man Michael Mangan of Patient 2 Patient Shared Experiences which is a non-profit, patient-focused organisation that provides non-medical advice to those affected by chronic kidney disease, writes Trish Whelan.

The free support service offers patients the opportunity to discuss their condition, feelings and treatment with fellow patients who have already been through the experience.

Patient Support Co-ordinator Michael says that the new Renault Captur is a huge asset in allowing him to meet up with patients who are on dialysis and awaiting kidney transplants.

“I use the experiences of my illness along with other patients who have had successful transplants to help new patients deal with the many challenges that lie ahead for them.”

The married father of three from Rathfarnham has had two kidney transplants over a 20 year period and he now needs a third kidney.

Pictured above at the handover of the Renault Captur at Renault Belgard are David Hickey, the Director of the National Kidney & Pancreas Transplant Program, who has performed over 1500 transplants; Michael Mangan; and Lynne Boucher, Marketing Manager, Renault Group Ireland.
