Story

Running has never come easily to me and I always said I would never run a marathon! That is however until this year when my husband’s kidney started to fail for a 2nd time. We’ve been down this road before and we know how hard and bumpy that road can be. My wonderful father in law donated the first time and we’ve had 12 fantastic years making memories with our girls but we always knew that wasn’t forever. It was still hard to hear the Dr tell us that my husband’s kidney was failing again and he urgently needed a transplant. This is my reason for running for “kidneys for life”, the work they do is amazing and they are a wonderful support to us and anyone else in our position. Every little bit helps and I am extremely grateful for whatever people can donate. I have never classed myself as a runner and this is my biggest challenge ever but nothing compared to what my husband is facing. So again I am so grateful for every penny so please dig deep 💕
