James Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer: The James Whale Fund for Kidney Cancer changed its name to Kidney Cancer UK on February 7, 2016 to become the UK’s leading specialist kidney cancer charity.  http://www.kcuk.org.uk/ It seeks to help reduce the harm caused by kidney cancer by increasing knowledge and awareness, providing patient information, and by supporting research into the causes, prevention and treatment of the disease.  The charity was founded in 2006 by the broadcaster James Whale whose experience of dealing with the disease in 2000, when he lost a kidney in the process, spurred him on to set up a charity to help others in a similar position.  The Fund depends primarily on voluntary donations and in its short history has published a definitive guide to kidney cancer, set up a Patient Support Network and Careline, established an online renal nurse training programme and campaigned for access to life extending drugs for NHS kidney cancer patients.  The charity is governed by a board of Trustees and has its head office in Cambridge, UK.

Whale directed such groundbreaking works as the 1931 "Frankenstein" and 1933's "The Invisible Man" and was a pioneer in the horror film genre.

Joseph A. McDonough: Joseph A. McDonough (October 20, 1896 in Portland, Maine – May 11, 1944 in Hollywood, California) was an assistant director in Hollywood, perhaps most noted for working often with James Whale, even after Whale left Universal Studios.  Among the films he worked on with Whale at Universal were "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Old Dark House" (1932), "The Invisible Man" (1933), "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) and the 1936 version of "Show Boat".  At MGM, McDonough worked with Whale on the unsuccessful "Port of Seven Seas" (1938), an American, and somewhat disguised, adaptation of the French Marcel Pagnol "Marius Trilogy".

Gods and Monsters (film): Gods and Monsters is a 1998 British-American period drama film that recounts the last days of the life of troubled film director James Whale, whose experience of war in World War I is a central theme.  It stars Ian McKellen as Whale, along with Brendan Fraser, Lynn Redgrave, Lolita Davidovich and David Dukes.  The film was directed and written by Bill Condon, based on Christopher Bram's novel "Father of Frankenstein".

Danny Blue (comedian): Danny Blue is an English comedian, television presenter, media personality and charity fundraiser.  His stand-up act is mainly aimed at an adult audience specialising in adult material, however his television work has proven he is just at home with a mixed audience.  It was during his touring of the club circuit that he was spotted and given the opportunity to appear on television programmes such as "The Des O'Connor Show", "The James Whale Show", and "The Big Breakfast".  Danny also appeared on Sextasy with his comedy show "The Oddballs".

The Road Back (film): The Road Back is a 1937 American drama war film directed by James Whale starring John King, Richard Cromwell and Slim Summerville.  The screenplay is by Charles Kenyon and R. C. Sherriff from the eponymous novel by Erich Maria Remarque.  Combining a strong anti-war message with prescient warnings about the dangers of the rising Nazi regime, it was intended to be a powerful and controversial picture, and Universal entrusted it to their finest director, James Whale.

James Whale: James Whale (22 July 1889 – 29 May 1957) was an English film director, theater director and actor.  He is best remembered for his four classic horror films: "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Old Dark House" (1932), "The Invisible Man" (1933) and "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935).  Whale also directed films in other genres, including what is considered the definitive film version of the musical "Show Boat" (1936).  He became increasingly disenchanted with his association with horror, but many of his non-horror films have fallen into obscurity.

Journey's End (1930 film): Journey's End is a 1930 British-American war film directed by James Whale.  Based on the play of the same name by R. C.
