WHY I WALK I walk in honor of my parents, Sylvia & Frank Jackson. My mother was diagnosed with a rare disease, amyloidosis, which led to kidney failure. My dad was her donor. His selfless act allowed me an additional 11 years with my mother & allowed her to witness the birth of her twin grandsons. 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.
