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. My daughter, Sharon, had a transplant in 2018 from a wonderful living donor. We were very blessed to have this person step up to help out our daughter. She is doing well and thriving. Also, our godson, Matthew (this is where our team name comes from Team MASH) received a transplant 10 years ago from a wonderful living donor. Currently he is looking for another living donor as his kidney function is declining.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.
