Kidney wales dates back to 50 years ago. 1n 1967 the Cardiff Royal Infirmary Renal unit had almost no resources that could treat patients with kidney failure. The hospital had limited dialysis machines. With the growing number of kidney failure patients, it was becoming difficult to provide the much-needed treatment and management of kidney failure.

It is because of this reason why some businessmen offered to buy the hospital a dialysis machine. However, plans to have a dialysis unit had been taken up by the Welsh Hospital Board and the men were then advised to support a research meant to research and find treatment and cures for kidney diseases. This noble cause helped to set up a laboratory in the dialysis unit. The businessmen then formed the Kidney Research Unit for Wales Foundation (KRUF) in 1967. The foundation grew and gained sponsors to support the cause. KRUF supported many issues affecting kidney patients including transplantation, and kidney donor system for those who wished to be organ donors when they die.

This then after a lot of changes over the years has grown to become the now known Kidney Wales Foundation. The foundation still largely lies on the support of sponsors and donors and that is basically what the race is all about. Every donation goes a long way to help a kidney patient.

The Cardiff 10k is supported and sponsors by different organizations and companies. All these parties work together in order to make the race and its cause a success. They supply the necessary equipment and items needed for the race and the racers. This race is for charity and everybody is welcomed to come in and support the kidney foundation.
