We're walking a marathon for Alport UK!

Alport UK was established in 2013 by Susie Gear, wife of George Walker. The catalyst for founding the charity was through two of their children living with Alport Syndrome (as well as Susie) which has resulted in the need for hearing aids and kidney transplants for both children, one of which donated by Susie.

The charity was established to assist in facilitating a support and information network for all those affected by Alport Syndrome from contributing to research, raising the profile of Alport syndrome within the scientific community and facilitating a support network for patients and families. The charity carries out work that not only benefits those affected by Alport but other kidney diseases too.

On Thursday 1st October, the RTLM team will be swapping the office for our walking shoes as we take on a 26.2 mile marathon walk to raise money for Alport UK.

We would be hugely grateful for any support you can give. Every donation, however big or small, will help support Alport UK and give us some much-needed motivation along the way!
