Why I Walk
I walk because my husband Thomas is a Kidney Recipient and our daughter Nicole is his Living Donor. As a Caregiver who is on the front line of this disease, I understand first hand the challenges that come with kidney failure. Far 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.As the Regional Development Director for the National Kidney Foundation of FL and Kidney Walk Director, 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.
