Today is world kidney day!! I donated a kidney to my son on his 16th birthday nearly 2 years ago. The company organising this event have a real race in Leeds today and then a virtual run. It was really important for me to take part is this event.

You can run any distance so l got up early this morning, 05.50, to get a run in. I don't normally run on Thursday because of work, so it was then or never!

It wasn't fast, but l was just glad to get out and I should get a medal 😁😁.

Happy running everyone πŸ˜†

Ah...another unsung hero amoungst us!😊

What a lovely thing to have done for your son Abaggs, and I'm sure he is rightly very proud of your running prowess!

Hope he is doing as well as you are.

Enjoy that medal when it comes, you deserve it😊xxx

Thanks. It has certainly been a journey and it is a bit of a wake up call to take every opportunity and not take anything for granted. 😁😁
