George Walker is joined by Will Shoebotham, Susie Gear and Patrick Walker to discuss Allsop's partnership with Alport UK. Patrick shares his experience of the condition, from hearing aids to a lockdown kidney transplant, while Susie charts how a kitchen-table charity has driven global research and multiple therapies into late-stage trials. From Beijing to Budapest, where 275 people from 40 countries met in September 2026, the team explore how one cause has unified the firm, its clients, and a 26-hour walk through a Yorkshire Dales storm.
