Dear friends and supporters,

We come together to honor the memory of my dear friend Shayla’s father, Anthony O’Brien, who recently lost his long battle with kidney disease (FSGS).

In his honor, we are launching this JustGiving campaign to raise funds for kidney research. The pain of this loss has sparked our determination to make a difference in the fight against kidney diseases, advocating for research breakthroughs that can save lives. Your contributions will support vital research initiatives, bringing us one step closer to a world where families no longer suffer the devastating impact of kidney-related illnesses. Join us in this meaningful cause, honoring a life well-lived and creating a lasting legacy of hope.

I have only recently picked up walking/hiking and managed to complete the End2End 2023 with my colleague Brian, albeit I am around 4 stone lighter now.

I will be completing the Bob Graham round, 66 mile, 27,000 ft circuit of 42 of the highest peaks in the English Lake District over the 3 days. I am challenging myself and have been active into the new year daily in the hopes to complete this challenge.

Thank you for your support!
