FRIDAY FUNDRAISER 💚 POV YOU DON’T HAVE TO RUN A HALF MARATHON!

Let’s clear something up…

You absolutely do NOT have to run 13.1 miles to become a Popham Kidney Support fundraiser. 😂🏃‍♀️

There are SO many ways you can fundraise for us.

🎂 Bake something
🎮 Hold a gaming challenge
🧁 Run a cake sale
🚶 Take on a walking challenge
🎉 Organise a quiz or social event
🏫 Get your school involved
💼 Fundraise through your workplace
🎨 Get creative
🏃 Take on a running challenge
🎁 Organise a raffle or sponsored activity

Or come up with something completely bonkers that we've never thought of before 👀

Every fundraiser starts with an idea.

And every pound raised helps us continue providing support, information, activities and services for people affected by kidney disease across Wales.

Want to become a Popham Kidney Support fundraiser?

🏃‍♀️💚 TEAM POPHAM 2027… LET'S MAKE IT OUR BIGGEST YET? 💚🏃‍♂️

The confetti has barely settled after this year's Cardiff Half Marathon, and we're already looking ahead to 2027! 👀

This year, we had 18 amazing runners take on the challenge, our biggest Cardiff Half Marathon team to date. We're so proud of every one of them and grateful to everyone who ran, donated, cheered and supported Team Popham. 🙌

Now we're dreaming bigger!

🎯 Our aim is to secure 30 places for Cardiff Half Marathon 2027.

We're not able to confirm those places just yet, so we've opened a waiting list for anyone who'd love to be part of Team Popham next year. 😊

Whether you're an experienced runner, a first-timer looking for a challenge, or someone who wants to turn 13.1 miles into something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you!

By running for Popham Kidney Support, you'll help us support children, young people, adults and families affected by kidney disease across Wales. 💚

📣 Want to be on the list?

💚 SOMETIMES, IT HELPS TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO JUST GETS IT. 💚

Living with kidney disease can bring so many questions, worries and emotions. Sometimes, even when people around you care deeply, it can be difficult to explain exactly how you're feeling.

That's where our Peer Mentor Service can make a difference. 💚

Our trained Peer Mentors have their own experience of kidney disease, whether as a patient, family member or carer. They understand that everyone's journey is different, and they offer something incredibly valuable: the chance to talk to someone who has been there.

You don't need to have all the right words. You don't need to explain every detail. And you certainly don't have to face everything alone.

Whether you'd like to talk through a worry, share experiences or simply connect with someone who understands, support is available.

💚 You don't have to navigate kidney disease on your own.

If you or someone close to you could benefit from Peer Mentor support, get in touch with our team.

🟢⚪ READY TO WEAR WALLY? THE 10-MILE RACE IS BACK! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Calling runners, challenge lovers and anyone who fancies doing something brilliant for a good cause! 💚

This year is extra special because Paul Popham Running Club is celebrating its 10th anniversary and they're marking the occasion by bringing back the popular 10 mile Wear Wally race! 🎉

Taking place on Sunday 29 November, the event starts at the club's training base at The LC in Swansea, with a new out and back route.

And there's a distance for everyone:

🏃 5K — age 11+
🏃‍♀️ 5 miles — age 16+
💪 10 miles — age 18+

Every entrant receives a green and white Big Bobble Hat, and finishers receive a dated commemorative badge! 🙌🏼

But why Wear Wally? 💚

The name is a little nod to Paul Popham, our much loved patron, whose nickname was Wally. Paul played football for Swansea's St Joseph's, whose green and white colours became part of this special story.

So, forget the red and white stripes of Where's Wally? We're asking you to wear GREEN AND WHITE! 🟢⚪

Organised by Paul Popham Running Club, the event supports Popham Kidney Support, helping children, young people, adults and families affected by kidney disease across Wales.

📅 Sunday 29 November 2026
📍 The LC, Swansea
🕗 Registration opens at 8am
🏁 5K starts 9:05am | 5 miles 9:10am | 10 miles 9:15am

🧡 LET'S KEEP THE ORANGE GLOWING! 🧡

October is flying by, but there's still plenty of time to get involved in Orange for October and help us raise awareness of kidney disease! 💚🧡

We've loved seeing our PKS community adding a splash of orange from our team wearing orange to work to our Kidney Café community getting involved. It's brilliant to see people across Wales helping spread the word. 🙌

And we'd love YOU to join us!

🧡 Wear something orange
🧡 Get your workplace, school, family or community group involved
🧡 Take a photo and share it on social media
🧡 Tag Popham Kidney Support and help us reach even more people

It's a simple way to start conversations about kidney disease, show support for those affected and remind people that no one should have to face it alone.

📸 Who's going orange next? We'd love to see your photos!

🏃‍♀️💚 SHE DID IT! JO TAKES ON LISBON! 🇵🇹👏

From Cardiff to Lisbon, our incredible CEO, Jo Popham, has certainly been putting in the miles, and we couldn't be prouder!

After taking on the Cardiff Half Marathon just a week earlier, Jo headed to Lisbon for another huge running challenge. Two races in two weekends is some commitment! 💪

But for Jo, this is about much more than the miles. Every donation helps Popham Kidney Support continue supporting people and families affected by kidney disease across Wales.

🎥 We've got a little glimpse of Jo in action take a look, show her some love and, if you can, help her fundraising total grow!

💚 Can you support Jo's Lisbon Marathon fundraiser?

Donate here:

Every donation, share and message of encouragement means so much. Thank you for cheering Jo on! 🙌
