WHY I WALK I walk because too many families (like mine) are coping or have coped, 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? Our family knows directly what kidney disease can do and we also know how important a living donor is to a kidney patient. Jim, my husband, has been healthier since his live donor of a kidney back on 9/27/2011! He continues to be healthy. We have seen what kidney disease awareness can do to help those struggling with this disease. We are voices for those , and hope we can make a difference for the better. Our lives are living proof. PLEASE join "Wilson Walkers" and walk with us on May 1st. Your donation monetarily is also greatly appreciated. -Tina & Jim
