LONDON MARATHON
Mum of Zachary is taking part in the TCS London Marathon this weekend - here is her story.
My Story
As some of you will know my incredible son and pupil at Twynham Primary Zachary, has a disease called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). He faces a lifetime of hospital visits and pain as both of his kidneys decrease in function, which can not only cause kidney failure, but also heart problems and affect other organs too. Currently there is no cure, only relieving symptoms. He has a 50% chance of passing this on if he ever has children. The helplessness we feel as parents that there is literally nothing we can do to stop his deteriorating kidneys is heartbreaking - something has to change.
So, I am running this marathon for my boy...please be kind as I have done hardly any exercise since before I was pregnant with Zachary - 7 years ago, but if he can navigate this hand he has been dealt in life, then I can get conquer this 26.2 miles.
Every step I take and every penny I raise will be helping Kidney Care UK be there for people affected by kidney disease. Currently, over 3.5 million people are diagnosed with kidney disease with 68,000 of these in kidney failure and 30,000 receiving dialysis treatment.
Thank you so much in advance.
