Hi, I’m Leonardo. When I was five, I was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. After some difficult years I’m doing well now, but I know many families aren’t as lucky.

Here in Bristol, where I live, there’s an amazing organisation that raises funds to support research into rare kidney diseases.

I love running, so I’ve set myself a small challenge: together with my brother, I’ll run the distance of a full marathon over the month of March. If I complete it, every donation will go to NeST.

Will you help me make a difference?
