There is no more compelling sound on earth than the cry of a child who needs you, and few children need your help more desperately than those with kidney disease.
Kids Kidney Research is the only charity in the UK, which solely provides funding for vital research into prevention and cure of kidney disease in babies and children. This vital research is carried out by the Institute of Child Health, which works in conjunction with Great Ormond Street, and now also by research units nationwide chosen with the help of the British Association for Paediatric Nephrology. There is no cure for renal failure, which many forms of kidney complaints can result in, only respite in the form of dialysis, or if you are lucky, transplantation. So much is still unknown about the causes of kidney failure, and it is the basic research into kidney disease, which desperately needs financial support.
KKR is a voluntary organisation, with no office overheads, allowing on average 97% of all contributions received to finance this important research.
