Sharon Huish - London Marathon April 2023
My Story
Working (as a kidney dietitian) with inspirational patients, and NHS colleagues, is an absolute honour and privilege. Seeing the many challenges faced by people living with kidney disease makes the challenge of running London marathon appear comparatively small - even though for me it's pretty huge!
I regularly reach out to Kidney Care UK (KCUK), seeking their advice, support, and financial assistance for patients under my care. KCUK support over 100 patients every week, offering a lifeline (and bringing smiles) to so many. Approximately 3.5million people have kidney disease in the UK (850 million worldwide) it's likely everyone will know someone!
I feel lucky to have the opportunity to run London marathon for such a fantastic charity. I'm looking forward to the challenge; I hope I can make the charity, and all the people they support, proud through raising awareness and money.
Thank you for your support - it will help keep me going 🏃♀️ and most importantly will help the lives of people living with kidney disease.
