Why I Walk

I walk to celebrate the life of Richard V. Slayman and to support his mission.

I walk because too many families (like Rick's) are coping with this devastating chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come.

I walk because this uninvited, unwelcomed guest has invited itself into the wrong family and we intend to walk out and on kidney disease on October 6, 2024.

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? If I can count on you to join me, please consider supporting my efforts with a donation and joining the Slay It Out Team to celebrate Rick's life with me!
