“Best Foot Forward - National Kidney Federation ”

on 9 June 2025

Join our June step challenge. Support those affected by kidney disease by participating in our June sponsored step challenge. Aim to complete 70,951 steps this month and stride alongside us for a great cause.

Story

I am trying to raise funds for The National Kidney Federation, which is run by kidney patients to support kidney patients and their families. It runs a free UK Helpline dedicated to kidney patients with two fully trained, experienced advisers providing a 5-day-per-week service to kidney patients, carers and healthcare professionals and Renal Units. The NKF Helpline is also the UK's largest provider of kidney-related medical information leaflets with a library of over 200 titles written by nephrologists in simple language for patients and carers.

There are currently 70,951 people in the UK being treated for Kidney failure including my husband Kevin.

I aim to do the Best Foot Forward challenge over 5 days beginning Monday 09th June, so that's 14,191 steps a day.

I am hoping to raise £500.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and the reasons for this challenge.❤️

Please support this sponsored step challenge so the National Kidney Federation can continue its vital work in supporting patients.
