Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. This is for Lucy, for the children who attend G4 at Southampton and for all children living with chronic kidney failure.

Lucy was diagnosed with the genetic disease, Juvenile Nephronophthisis, in January 2008 when she was 3 years old. This disease causes progressive destruction of both her kidneys, meaning that she will need a transplant before she reaches adolescence. At the moment she is full of life and is doing very well thanks to the care that she receives from the Paediatric Nephrology team at Southampton General Hospital. 

Kids Kidney Research is a wonderful charity which funds research that is absolutely vital to improve and prolong the lives of children with kidney failure. There are no cures for chronic kidney failure, but improved medicines and treatment as a result of the research funded by KKR are so important in helping these children and their families with their treatment and in giving them a future to look forward to.

To support this charity we are going to be raising money through lots of different events and challenges. Friends and family have been incredibly supportive raising money hosting coffee mornings, giving profits from various sales, organising events etc.. 

You can read more about Lucy and her illness on the KKR website here:
