I am taking part in a 24 hours rounders match which is a Guinness World Record attempt. The two teams will be raising money for Shelter and Macmillan but each team individual can raise money for a charity of their choosing. I have chosen Kidney Research UK because...
My 2 year old godson Hansel has been diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome and is a condition he is going to have for the rest of his life. There are drugs and treatments available to help Hansel but I am raising money to support the research for a cure so parents in future don't have to go through what Jason and Liz, Hansel's parents, have already been through.
Nephrotic Syndrome is a condition which causes the kidneys to leak a large amount of protein into the urine. This can lead to a range of problems, including swelling of body tissues and a greater chance of catching infections. Around 1 in 50,000 children are diagnosed with the condition every year.
Any amount you can spare is greatly appreciated.
