I am taking on Kidney Care UK's Marathon March

This year, I’m stepping up for the Marathon March in support of Kidney Care UK, the leading patient support charity for people living with kidney disease. Millions of people in the UK are affected, and too many face the journey alone. Kidney Care UK is there to make sure they don’t have to.

I’m walking/running 26.2 miles to help raise funds for vital services, from counselling and patient grants to expert advice and advocacy. Your donation will help ensure no one has to face kidney disease without support.

Please give what you can and cheer me on as I take on this challenge!

My Story

In February 2022 I was diagnosed with Kidney Failure, it had an massive impact on my life from the second I knew , I didnt know what to think or what to say, but I took the positivity route the whole way , any nurses or doctors that came across me would probably agree haha.  But it was still 2 years of pain, 2 years of hurt and 2 years of just not feeling myself because I couldn't do much. My Family, My Friends were so vital in keeping that positivity up for me.

March 2024 came and it was transplant time , scared , worried were the words I kept using, but the team at Leicester General were absolutely incredible with me. From the off.

Now nearly 2 years of my transplant I feel it is now my time , to give back and show other people that its not the end its just the start . And never ever forgetting every single special person that is in my life, it because of you and your motivation I can do this
