Why We Walk (virtual walk or donate):

We walk because too many families (like mine) are coping with this devastaing chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come. 

I was born with one kidney that isn't functioning at 100%.  I spent my first 4 months since birth at Phoenix Children's Hospital, PCH.  I am currently at home on dialysis waiting for the time when I will be eligible for my kidney transplant at PCH.  Your support will help me and other families get the kidney care we need.

We will walk to support the life changing 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.

Will you join us?  You can come to the walk, do a virtual walk in my honor or just send a donation.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.   Thank you so much!
