Playing the raffle improves lives

There’s exciting news for thousands of people living with rare kidney diseases. We’ve joined forces with medical charity LifeArc to create a pioneering new research centre.

The £10.4M LifeArc-Kidney Research UK Centre for Rare Kidney Diseases will bring together researchers, patients and healthcare professionals to accelerate discoveries in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease.

“This UK-wide project aims to create a culture of constant learning to bring rapid advances to patients of all ages living with kidney diseases. Thank you for helping make it possible with your support.”

Dr Louise Oni, project leader.

Kathryn understands the impact

Twenty-five years ago, when she was just 13, Kathryn faced kidney failure after being diagnosed with the rare disease, IgA vasculitis. Kathryn understands the positive impact this new centre could have on patients. Now, she supports Kidney Research UK because she doesn’t want anyone else to have to go through the same experience.

“If there was a way to treat rare diseases before they get to that point of causing kidney failure and needing a transplant, that would just be incredible because it changes the course of your life. This new research centre is an exciting opportunity to achieve that.”

Kathryn - How your money helps

Unfortunately, Kathryn is not alone in her experience and knows there is lots more research to be done to prevent and treat the causes of kidney disease, but she is determined to help make it happen. Every day 20 people are diagnosed with kidney failure, but with your help, we can help end kidney disease.

By playing the raffle for just £1 today you’ll be helping fund some amazing new research to make life better for people like Kathryn.

Play now and help end kidney disease. The closing date is 16 December 2024, with the draw taking place on 18 December 2024.
