Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I was born with a birth defect in one kidney which lead to having one kidney removed in August 1996. In 2021, my 61st year it will be the 25th anniversary of that time.
I was very ill at the time, lost weight and was vomiting up to 30 times a day due to my kidney expanding to four times it normal size and nowhere for anything to go. However, I am lucky to have one excellent, functioning Kidney, others are not so fortunate. Kidney failure is extremely painful and when one goes into meltdown you know about it !
During lockdown I bought a dipping station and on 23rd May 2020 I started my challenge to do 100 dips a day for 500 days.
I completed my first 50,000 on the 27th October 2021 and have decided to take the challenge up to 100,000 dips to be completed by the 17th February 2023, which will be the end of the 1000 days.
Help now is as relevant as ever as one of the problems and side effects of Covid-19 is kidney failure and so more help is now needed more than ever.
This is my little way of giving something back.
As we go through the next few months I will update and maybe issue a few personal challenges to anyone who would like to join in either with me or in their own gym.
Thanks
