Emma’s My #KidneyWarrior
Challenge
Emma is 11 years old and despite lockdown restrictions keeps
herself busy. Thanks to the wonders of technology, she has
been able to continue her hobbies that are gymnastics,
dancing, and Guides, online.
Inspired by family and friends who are raising money for
various charities, Emma decided to do some fundraising of her
own by signing up to our brand new My #KidneyWarrior
Challenge and decided to cycle 10 miles a week throughout
the month of February. Emma’s Grandad has kidney disease,
and this prompted her to support Kidney Care UK.
Emma started her ‘sponsored super spin’ on 1st February
with indoor cycling and the aim to cover 10 miles per week
throughout February. The initial fundraising target was £100,
but after just a couple of weeks, Emma has already raised
more than £4,000.
To those who have supported this invaluable cause Emma
says “Thank you to everyone for all your generous donations,
they have kept me motivated to keep on going!”
