Letter: Take part in Kidney Care UK’s Walk the Parks

As the UK’s leading kidney patient support charity, we exist to ensure that no one faces kidney disease alone, but we can’t do this all by ourselves, we need your readers' support.

Did you know that right now, 221 people in Hampshire are on the transplant waiting list, waiting for that life-changing call – and 80 per cent of these will be people waiting for a kidney transplant.

Accessible 2, 5 and 10 mile options are available, so however you choose to Walk the Park (wheel, scoot, toddle, or just have a leisurely stroll with friends, family and even four-legged companions) you’ll be joining a community who are all walking for kidney disease, for those on dialysis and for those waiting for a transplant.

If getting to London isn’t possible, then your readers can take part virtually in one of Hampshire’s stunning local parks.
