28th November 2013 - 273 days and counting!

We are in!

Vicky has registered the team, and Emma has joined her... at least two of us are going to attempt this challenge Next June! Annemarie should be signing up shortly... :D

Neither of us have completed an Ultra before, and we certainly don't expect to run all the way - However we will run as much as possible and get all the way from Regents Park to Bletchley Park in one go! You can follow our training ups and downs, (I am sure along the way there will be plenty of both), see what other events we are doing as part of our training and see how we are doing with meeting our fund raising target!

Both Emma and Vicky have families effected by Kidney disease, and both have been personally effected themselves. Emma's mum had a transplant in 1986, (Still going strong!), and Vicky watched a co-worker go through receiving a transplant from her own father! The NKF aims to provide Help and Information to both renal patients and their carers . It does this via its website, its telephone Helpline, its advocacy officers, its quarterly magazine Kidney Life, its medical information leaflets and its annual conference. If the provision of renal services is thought to be lacking, then the NKF campaigns to get things changed. The NFK is run by kidney patients for kidney patients and is the largest renal patient charity in the UK.

If you want to know anything else, ask...if you have any tips or suggestions? Please send them over!! :)

And please, feel free to share and promote, we want people to know what we are up to!

Thanks
Em x
