Why I Walk

I walk because too many families are coping with this devastating chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come. I received a kidney transplant from a living donor in May of 2018. 

I will continue to fight so that those battling kidney disease understand that they are not in this alone. Please educate yourself on the causes of kidney disease, how to fight it and how it affects those living on dialysis waiting for a their lives to change.

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 donation. Thank you!!
