From marathons and half marathons to coastal walks and skydives; we have loads of fantastic events for you to get involved with.
By signing up to a challenge and joining Team PKD, you will be raising much needed awareness and funds to enable PKD Charity to continue supporting individuals and their families affected by PKD.
To help you, we will provide:
-
A PKD t-shirt or running vest

Whether you are a keen runner or an enthusiastic jogger, there is sure to be a running event to suit you.
As a charity, we have a limited number of places in the London Marathon, London Landmarks Half Marathon and Great North Run. However, there are 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathons happening all over the country that you can sign up to with your own place and fundraise for PKD Charity.

Alternatively, you could organise your own walking event. Whether you want to walk alone, with friends, or organise a work event, we would love to hear from you and support you however we can.

Imagine you’re standing at an open doorway in an aircraft flying 10,000 feet. All you hear is the noise of the plane’s engines and the wind whipping round your ears. You look out and see distant fields; a river below…Imagine now leaning out of the doorway and letting go. You start whizzing through clouds. The canopy opens, and you float peacefully down to the ground!
In return for raising a minimum sponsorship target, you can do all of this for FREE – whilst raising vital funds to help support people affected by PKD.
- ‘Tandem Skydive’ from 10,000 feet attached to a professional instructor (£395 target in England and £450 in Scotland and Kent)
