Welcome to Team Ariel! 

My name is Jeniffer Mariel , one of the three daughters of Ariel .
Along with my two sisters, Leiri & Ari and our mother Mariluz, we 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.

Each and everyday we stand along side my father as he completes almost 11 hours of dialysis at home daily . We do not lose faith that a donor will soon apear. My father is in need of a kidney from blood type A or type O. If you would like any information on becoming a donor or how you can help please contact me via email at Jeniffer.Mariel.ruiz@gmail.com. 

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.

I walk because if it weren’t for this foundation bills at home would not be paid and some thing as “simple” as food on our plates may have not been possible these past few years. We are so grateful for this foundation and we hope you can join us and raising  awareness and most importantly raising funds for families like my own.
God Bless! 
-Jeniffer Mariel & Family ❤️
