And the winner is...

It is an honour and a privilege that Kenneth has asked me to post on his blog this morning; as I'm writing this, Kenneth is going into the operating theatre to donate a kidney to his dad. Surely, becoming a live donor is one of the bravest and most selfless acts possible? Kenneth is a true inspiration to me.

He asked me last night if I would post details of the winning bidder in the art auction for the magnificent painting by Jack Frame - 'Spring Blossom Looking Toward Glasgow'. I am delighted to announce that Kirsten Davies has won with her fantastic bid of £550; thank you Kirsten for such a great donation to Kenneth's appeal.

Thanks also to Jack Frame and The Studio of Fine Art for organising such a great auction item.

The appeal doesn't stop here, in many ways it's just beginning. wouldn't is be good to show Kenneth your admiration for his massive act by significantly boosting the appeal during the next couple of days; I'm sure that would be a great tonic for him and his dad as they recover from the operations.
