Kidney Matters - Issue 2, Summer 2018

You are at the
Your support is so important. Kidney Care UK receives no government funding. So, it
is only with the generosity of our supporters that we can support so many patients
and their families. It has been this way for over 40 years, but more than ever before,
we need your help now. And you haven’t let us down…
ever
Back in April, our team of just four runners raised an incredible £30,000 running
the London Marathon. Shortly after this, in May, we had a team of 20 complete the
Belfast Marathon and raise a total nearing £4,000. Since then, more than 30 of you
have taken on a run, cycle, Tough Mudder and many other crazy
challenges to raise awareness of and funds for Kidney Care UK.
Away from these physical tests, we have launched a year-long
fundraising partnership with B Braun Medical Ltd and another with
the M&S store in Deal, Kent. We have also received a great amount
of support from schools, and were invited to Tyler’s Green Middle
School to share a little about the charity with the Year 5 students
there after they raised more than £300 for us.
We’re always adding new ways for you to get involved.
If you know of a company or organisation, or a school, club or group who would
like to show their support, or you fancy taking on a challenge yourself – crazy or
otherwise - visit www.kidneycareuk.org/get-involved
