Trudi Chandler is Running the London Marathon - Again
Trudi Chandler, a member of St Margaret's Fund Raising committee, is once again running The Flora London Marathon for Kidney Research UK. Here's a message that she's sent to us.
In a moment of madness I once again put my name forward to raise money for
Kidney Research UK by taking part in the Flora London Marathon on 22 April
2007. I most definitely
wasn’t a born runner!
You
may remember me from last year, along with your help I managed to raise £3,500
for Kidney Research UK. I
never expected to raise anything near that amount, and for that I am
eternally grateful.
Once again I am pounding the pavements for a good cause, as you may know, my son Connor suffers from chronic kidney disease. There is no cure for kidney disease or kidney failure and he will need lifelong treatment.

The
mission of Kidney Research UK is to fund life saving research into kidney
disease, to improve the quality of life of those with kidney disorders and
to increase public awareness of kidney health.
It
is estimated that as many as 1 in 10 people in the UK have chronic kidney
disease – a number which is set to rise dramatically over the next
decade. It can affect any one
of us at any time in our lives.
