Here is my gift to help the work of the
 National Kidney Federation  FUNdraising for the NKF



             2017 - supporting Kidney patients


            Christmas and the New Year is the time for planning ahead and setting resolutions.  NKF offers
            a vast selection of events in which you too could take part - from small walks to jumping out of
            an aeroplane.  If you are not able to take part yourself then maybe a member of the family or a
            friend would like to step up to the plate and take part knowing that any money raised will go to   Pete Revell - Head
            help improve the lives of kidney patients. For more information on what events are available or   of Fundraising
            for help from our Fundraising team planning your own event please visit www.kidney.org.uk or

            Whilst we know the year is not yet over we would like to say thank you to everyone who has fundraised for NKF in 2016.  This year has seen
            a record number of people taking part in events, from shaving their hair off, running a marathon and holding garden parties to jumping out of
            planes.  Without you we here at NKF simply could not continue our vital work supporting kidney patients here in the UK – So we all
            say a HUGE thank you to YOU!
