As I prepare for my first ever marathon at the Belfast City Marathon 2024, I am reminded of the incredible journey that kidney patients face every day. NIPKA, founded by kidney patients for kidney patients, is a beacon of hope and support in this challenging journey. They provide emotional and practical assistance, organize uplifting days out, offer valuable information on renal studies, and guide individuals to essential resources.

NIPKA's unwavering dedication to supporting renal patients at every stage of their treatment is made possible solely through fundraising efforts. By participating in this marathon, we aim to raise £500 for the Northern Ireland Kidney Patients Association and contribute to their vital cause.
