Why I Walk:

" YOU HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE" are five words that I could have never imagined hearing. To say that I was blindsided and shocked is an understatement. As a recently diagnosed kidney patient, 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 years to come. My hope is that this walk will bring education and awareness to many and prompt preventative measures. . 

I walk to support the life changing 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?
