The Cottesloe School have selected 5 charities to support, with each year group selecting one to champion. I am a Year tutor and we have selected the 6 Counties Kidney Patient's Association. This is a charity that is very personal to a member of our year group and we want to do as much as we can to support them in 2023.

About SKPA:

"Everyone on our Committee is either a patient, a carer of a kidney patient or a kidney volunteer.

We raise money to help all kidney patients cope with any mental, physical or financial problems. The SCKPA has also raised funds over the years in anticipation of providing the new renal ward in Oxford with as many of the extras that staff and patients need as can be afforded. The combined renal and transplant ward is scheduled to open at Christmas 2019.

We offer support to people suffering from kidney disease and/or renal insufficiency. We cover members from the area served by the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and its satellites (Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and parts of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire)."

Our challenge:

As it's me, its a running thing. I am still not that good at it, but the motivation factor of doing something that helps others is enough to keep me going. We're going to get a few more involved this time, though; The whole of the Cottesloe School (as many as we can, anyway). So by contributing to my fundraiser you're helping my year 10 team raise as much as we can to support SKPA. Please give a little for this important local charity.
