I am running London Marathon 2025 and raising money for Popham Kidney Support (PKS). For those who know me, London Marathon has been on my bucket list since I turned 50! I had a place in LM20 and then COVID Happened and my running mojo got lost in the pandemic. 5 years on and I am absolutely thrilled to have a place in LM25 and my running mojo is back! For those who also know me, you will know that I am running for PKS, a charity that is close to my heart! Every penny counts! PKS is a charity based in Swansea that supports all affected by kidney disease in Wales. Their aims are to improve their emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing and improve their knowledge through education. They also campaign for better services. Their flagship service is their Peer Support Service where they train patients to become peer mentors to give advice to others like them. There is no cure for chronic Kidney disease, the only treatment is a kidney transplant or dialysis. While I am training, I will be thinking about those affected by kidney disease and how lucky I am, able to run while they can not run away from this condition! Dialysis treatment is on average 3 to 6 hours 3 times a week. While I will be running London marathon someone will be dialysing and while the marathon is just a one-day event, dialysis is a lifetime event! Someone receiving support from PKS say, ‘I don’t feel alone – someone understands what I am going through’! Help me, support the charity support children, youths, and adults with kidney disease in Wales and their families to lead a better quality of life! Thank you in advance for your support - every peny counts!
