Kidney Care UK's #KidneyWarriors are taking on the 2022 London Marathon to help ensure no one faces kidney disease alone.

Story

At only 40 years old, after a long battle with illness, Pauline Thrower sadly passed away from Kidney failure. 

She fought on, having to travel miles three times a week for dialysis. she never moaned, was always smiling, living in hope that one day she would be given a Kidney transplant. 

That day never came. Pauline slipped away in her 12 year old daughter Michelle's arms. Leaving both Michelle and her 9 year old sister Alanna behind.

Pauline never got to see her daughters grow up and turn into fantastic mothers themselves.

Pauline never had the chance to meet her 5 wonderful grandchildren who would have adored her and she would be so proud. 

I never had the pleasure of meeting her.

Like so many people that went before her and after, it could have been a different story.

One match is all that's needed.

Please help me to raise money and awareness for Pauline and everyone else who is suffering or has lost their lives to kidney failure.

Thank you
