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.

As you may know, I turn 40 this year!  I have decided to embrace this and do something constructive for my mid life crisis.  Especially as I am fit and well thanks to receiving 2 life-saving kidney transplant the most recent 11 years ago. Read more about my story here (link to follow).

As a few of you may be aware, I have a condition called Alports Syndrome.  Alports syndrome is a genetic condition which causes hearing, eye and kidney problems.  You can find out more about Alports Syndrome here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H8Xc6DRmbs

So, back to my mid - life crisis.  I am going to be taking part in 12

fundraising events this year (1 per month) to raise money for Kidney Research, specifically Action For Alports, which is looking for a cure for Alports.  At the same time, I am aiming to raise awareness for the NHS Organ Donor Register https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/

My event schedule is as follows and I will be updating my page throughout the year with progress towards my target of £5000:

I would be grateful if you would consider donating either for an individual event that you think is challenging or for the whole thing. Any amount will help.  I will be sending an update out to let you
know how each event went.
