If you would like to help us support patients and families affected by kidney cancer a great way to do so would be to host a Mad Hatters Tea Party.

Now the sun is shining this is a great time to meet with friends and loved ones, why not have tea and a cake or a full afternoon tea, the choice is yours and raise some funds for us at the same time.

To get started please follow the link below, where you will find lots of great ideas on host your party or contact Karen@actionkidneycancer.org
