Why I Walk
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. My mother, a Type 2 diabetic, is currently living with end-stage renal disease and relies on dialysis. My 39-year-old godson has also recently been diagnosed with the same condition. Without the unwavering support of family, friends, and organizations like the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), this journey would be far more isolating and difficult.

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?
