Story

Every year thousands of people come together to take on our Bridges Walks, walking seven miles in London, Newcastle and Glasgow, raising money to push forward research and make a difference to people living with kidney disease.

This year we were hoping to raise £100,000 but we cannot hold our Bridges Walks in the normal fashion. Even if government guidelines were lifted it wouldn't be right to ask people to come together at a time of such uncertainty.

Instead we are calling on you to complete My Bridges Challenge. What will your challenge be? Taking place or finishing on Sunday 6 September you could choose to walk seven miles, run 7k in seven days, cycle 70k or amaze us with your own creative challenge in your own home, garden or in the great outdoors at a safe distance from others.

"We're really excited that My Bridges Challenge allows everyone to choose their activity, fundraise and unite to help keep research going", said Marc Shaw, head of community fundraising and events at Kidney Research UK.

Its all about bridges connecting us can you ask seven people to sponsor you and raise £70? Can you ask seven friends to take part too? Can you all raise £70? We cant wait to see #TEAMKIDNEY coming together once again, even while were apart.
