BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | South East Wales | Father cycles for transplant sons

Three years after two young brothers underwent kidney transplants, they are in training for a world championship.

Luke and Ashley Campbell, 16, who are two of a set of triplets, suffered from the same rare kidney disease.

The boys had to give up sport because they needed dialysis, but following their surgery they took up sport again.

Now their father has begun a cycle ride from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise £4,000 for them to go to the World Transplant Games.

Luke and Ashley had been on a 17-month waiting list when a kidney became available for one of them.
