CHILDREN who suffer from kidney disease or support someone with the condition can be acknowleged through the National Kidney Research Fund's Young Hero Awards.

The Fund has been touring children's renal units across the country in a bid to find the nation's Young Achievers and Young Supporters, but is struggling to find any children from the North-west. Young Achievers refuse to let kidney disease stop them pursuing a hobby.

Young Supporters show unrelenting spirit in caring for a close friend or relative who has a kidney-related disease. The Young Hero Awards are open to those up to the age of 18 and the closing date is October 8.
