Title
London marathon run to raise awareness & donations for the National Kidney Fund
Description
The reason for run4katie is very simple. I am running in the Flora London Marathon in April 2006 for Kidney Research UK (formally the National Kidney Research Fund) because my baby daughter Katie Grace, who was born in April 2005, has a condition called Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney. In plain English she was born with one healthy kidney on her right side and on her left side where the other kidney should be is a mass of cysts and minimal kidney tissue.
What better way to raise awareness of kidney problems and raise funds for research and treatments for people with kidney problems than do the Flora London Marathon? So run4katie.org was born. We are thinking big. We want to raise lots of money so people like Katie have a better life with better treatment and care.
Kidney diseases and kidney problems do not get a lot of media attention or press coverage so fund raising is not as widespread as for other charities and good causes, but run4katie.org wants to change that. People like Katie who are born with kidney problems and those who develop problems later in life as a result of things like diabetes, deserve better treatment and care than is available now. The people at National Kidney Research Fund do a great job at the moment but they need help to do better. That is where we come in. We want to raise as much money as possible through sponsorship, donations, fund raising events and hard work for the National Kidney Research Fund.
