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

Starting on the 21st August, I am attempting to walk 1000 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats for Kidney Research UK.

Inspired by the fundraising hero Sir Captain Tom, who raised £32.5 million for the NHS during the Covid-19 pandemic, I am setting out to raise awareness that thousands of UK charities have lost over 50% of their funding over the last 18 months, due to the Covid-19 pandemic

As someone born with 4 kidneys, a condition that occurs some in fewer than 1 in 10,000 people, I am challenging myself to raise £10,000 in support of lifesaving research for over 3 million people diagnosed with chronic kidney disease each year in the UK - so that many others can benefit from the excellent NHS care I received at 9 months old.

Share my journey at KidneyTom.com or donate here to bring me another step closer to the finish line!

Thank you for your support,

Tom
