Flora London Marathon 2008 · 13 April 2008 ·

We are the largest charity dedicated to kidney research in the UK. Kidney disease ruins and destroys lives. Treatments are gruelling, relentless. There is no cure. We say this isn't good enough. We will transform kidney health. Kidney disease ends here.

Story

Thanks for visiting our fund raising page for Kidney Research UK.  We hope that you will be able to sponsor us online so that we can get closer to our goal of £3000.

We have finally completed the London Marathon! After running through sunshine, rain and hail we made the finish line.

The atmosphere and noise from the 1/2 million spectators was amazing and helped us push through the highly painful last few kilometres to get through the 42.2kms

The beers after the run definitely tasted good!

Jon finished in 3hrs58 and Ross in 4hrs31.
