I have kindly signed up to complete Tough Mudder on behalf of aHUSUK to raise funds for Kidney Research UK to prove what a machine I really am! I fully expect to finish in 1st place and expect you all to donate some cash to help me do this, I think we all know this will be a walk in the park for me…!

I am doing this to support a close friend of mine who was diagnosed with aHUS in 2011. I am trying to raise awareness and support to get her trial drug nationally commissioned.
aHUS is a very rare disease that causes irreversible kidney failure in children and adults for which there is no cure and was no effective treatment until recently.

Kidney Research UK was founded in 1961 and is the leading UK charity dedicated to funding research aimed at finding better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for kidney disease. They have over £10.1 million invested in research at any one time, awarding grants to doctors, nurses and researchers across the UK.
