Story

I'm taking part in Kidney Care UK's October Dog Walking Challenge. I'll be walking 32.5 miles across the month with my furry pal for the 3.25 million people living with stages 3-5 chronic kidney disease in the UK.

I am extremely grateful to be well into my Tolvaptan medication journey, in a hope to slow the decline of my Polycystic Kidney Disease. I hope that in the future, along with much needed funding for Kidney Care and other PKD charities the future can be less scary for everyone faced with a chronic kidney disease.

I hope to never need dialysis or a kidney transplant, but while I’m fit and healthy if I can help to increase these crucial funds in case I, or a close family member or friend, need these treatments in the future then I will be forever thankful for your help 🥰
