WHY I WALK HERE IS THE REASON WHY I WALK In 2019, my father was diagnosed with CKD. There were so many of my dad's friends and family that said that they would donate their kidney. There were 4 of us in the family that started testing. It finally came down to me and I went through all the testing. Long story short, I was the one chosen. When I told my dad, he was screaming at the top of his lungs. We planned the surgery for June of 2021. ---‐-----------‐--------------------‐‐--------------------- 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.
