WHY I WALK I walk for my son Bear. Bear was born in 2020 with CKD stage 4. He has had 4 surgeries and many hospital stays at CHOP. Don't let his long diagnosis list fool you, he is the happiest little boy. Bear loves playing with his big sister Ellie and dog Moose. We are so thankful for our supportive family and friends who jump in to help whenever they can. Last year we had a great turn out for Bears Bean Team at Washington Lake Park. This year we hope for his team to grow even bigger! Please join our team and come walk with us this year at Citizens Bank Park! 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. 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.
