When Kevin was 35 years old, he was diagnosed with polycystic liver disease (PLD), a hereditary condition where the normal liver tissue is replaced by numerous fluid-filled cysts.
Kevin's liver is about ten times the size of a normal adult. After two liver transplantation assessments, he was asked by his liver consultation team if he could lose around 40kg of weight, for better health and to aid in the recovery of an upcoming major surgical procedure.
Remarkably, Kevin has lost 30kg and says he now feels great and much stronger and younger. So much so that he signed up to this year's London Landmarks Half Marathon along with his son and a close friend.
Throughout Kevin's weight loss journey he has taken up training, cycling and road running again after many years. He's also completed a few personal challenges he believed were impossible to achieve with his condition.
The London Landmarks Half Marathon is a mental and physical challenge, something that Kevin is relishing. He’s really looking forward to that feeling of achievement after crossing the finish line.
