Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I will be running a 100K at the end of the June ( 13 months after I took up running ). The furthest distance I have raced and received a medal for is a half marathon that I completed the end of Oct. 2013.

I will be running Brighton marathon on  April 6th just to let you  know that 'I can do this'  and that training is going well.

I had a kidney problem as a child  - luckily not serious and I never needed dialysis, let alone a transplant . My friend and work colleague did recently need dialysis and was high on the list for a transplant. The process took a while and luckily her dad was a good match ( another of my work colleagues).

So why NFK because support from others has got me through tough times and directed me to running and I want to give something back.

The NFK  are great at helping support families through those tough times as well as helping with research. So please let me convert my hrs and training into money for this cause.
