I have decided to enter this challenge and cycle 850 miles this year, in memory of my friend charlie. He struggled with a rare kidney disease for over 15 years until his body finally gave up on the 17th of January 2021 after catching a virus. He fought through so much and so in his memory I would like to raise some money towards kidney disease research in the hope that others get the help they need 

There are currently 850 million people worldwide living with kidney disease. This is not OK. I'm joining the fight to help end kidney disease by completing the #850Challenge. I'm taking charge and making this year count. With kidney disease now being the 10th top cause of death, Kidney Research UK has never been more important. Kidney disease ruins and destroys lives. Research is key to transforming kidney health and support is crucial to make this happen. Please donate whatever you can, every £ will help to keep research going and help kidney patients. Kidney disease ends here.
