Chase walks 100 miles in May

hi my name is Chase and im nearly 9 yrs old and i was born with a Horseshoe kidney! Not alot of people know what this is when i tell them and i use to suffer with the symptoms of it when i was younger but as i get older and im more active its better for me so i want to walk 100 miles in may for the charity Kidney Research UK.

Horseshoe kidney affects about 1 in 500 people. Males are more likely to have a horseshoe kidney than females.

For most people, a horseshoe kidney won’t affect life expectancy. But you may be at a higher risk of developing kidney (renal) cancer.

Most people have no symptoms of a horseshoe kidney. If you do, they may include:

Nausea and vomiting.

Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), which may also cause pain when you pee (dysuria) along with a fever.

Kidney stones, which may cause abdominal (belly) pain, blood in your pee (hematuria) and pain when you pee.

i want to help people who have kidney diseases and any thing i raise will be most greatful.

my mum and my dog Angel will be walking the 100 miles with me.

thank you for reading my story.

from Chase
