Around the World - A Celebration of a new life!
a trip by RUDKIN FAMILY TRAVELS
From: December 3rd 2014
Until: January 29th 2015
Our two beautiful daughters, Sophie & Emma were born 25/01/2005 and by the age of 5 we had decided that we would take them to Disney World in Florida for their 10th birthday. Unfortunately I had been diagnosed with CKF Cronic Kidney Failure and on 11/11/2011 I commenced intensive training at RPA Hospital for in home dialysis.
My in home treatment commenced 18/1/2012 and our lives changed, we thought for ever! But during early 2013 my beautiful wife Celina decided that she would gift me a second chance at life by donating one of her kidneys. This would also restore our family passion for international travel and with some chance of still delivering on the promise to Sophie & Emma to visit Disney World by age 10
So Wednesday 15/01/2014 we were admitted to RPAH for the life changing operation. Once out of hospital we commenced in ernest making our travel arrangements.
The plan is for Celina, Sophie & Emma to depart for Argentina 3 December and spend Christmas with family. I will depart for Orlando, Florida 27/12/14 where we will meet again as a family and the fun will begin.
