My Story

From Diagnosis to Determination: My Journey to Break a World Record

Life changed in an instant.

I was fit, focused, and living life with purpose when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with vasculitis: a rare and aggressive autoimmune condition. Within days, my kidneys failed. What followed was months in hospital, fighting for stability, adjusting to a new reality, and learning to live with dialysis. It was brutal. It was humbling. And it was life-altering.

But it wasn’t the end of my story.

Today, I’m dialysis-dependent and waiting for a kidney transplant. But I refuse to let this define me. Instead, I’ve set myself a bold challenge: to break the world record for the fastest marathon run by a dialysis patient. Yes, you read that right. While most people on dialysis are told to slow down, I’m choosing to speed up, literally.

This isn’t just about me. It’s about showing what’s possible when you refuse to be limited by circumstance. It’s about raising awareness for kidney disease, vasculitis, and the thousands of people who live with chronic illness every day. And it’s about proving that resilience, grit, and hope can carry us further than we ever imagined.

I’m raising funds to support this journey, with all proceeds going to kidney research, and advocacy efforts to inspire others facing similar battles. Every donation helps me push forward, not just toward the finish line, but toward a future where illness doesn’t mean isolation, and where determination can rewrite the rules.

Thank you for believing in me. Let’s make history together.
