A university lecturer in the North East has survived skin cancer and two kidney transplants.
Kudz Munongi was first diagnosed with kidney disease in 2004, at the age of 22. He suffered temporary loss of vision; had extremely high blood pressure and his kidneys were full of water.
The 41-year-old, who is a Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Finance at the University of Sunderland, was told he had stage 4 kidney failure and waited for nearly five years on dialysis to have a kidney transplant.
