Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running the London Marathon to raise money for Kids Kidney Research. It wasn't until a friend who is very close to my heart had a beautiful baby boy named Oakley that I realised how important charities like this one are. Oakley was born with a rare form of polycysctic kidney disease. The disease can be fatal in children but Oakley is a fighter and now, 18 months on, the doctors have found a mixture of medicines to keep him stable. It is only though charities such as this one that this has been possible. So little is known about kidney disease, especially in children which is why I am raising money for a charity that contributes to continual research and, as a result, more knowledge and treatment.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you so much for as much or as little as you feel able to donate, it is apprecited by so many.
