Why I Walk

I walk because too many families (like mine) are coping with this devastating chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come.

I walk to support the lifechanging work of the National Kidney Foundation:
- To ensure that families will have a place to turn when they need answers.
- To keep up the fight for policy changes to protect kidney patients and living donors.
- To drive innovation in transplantation and get more loved ones off the kidney transplant waitlist.

Are you with me?

Please consider supporting my efforts with a generous donation.

I was rushed to the hospital in November and given emergency dialysis. They pulled six liters of fluid from me and I've been on dialysis ever since then. I switched to PD dialysis in March and it is so much better for me. I am still waiting to get on the transplant list but that is progressing as well. I could not have done this without the help of the team at DaVita and the National Kidney Foundation. They literally saved my life and I'm happy to spread the word to get others the help they might need so they know they aren't fighting alone.
