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.

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.

I walk for all the above reasons, however, my main reason is to honor my Dad, Harry Sheldon Weimer Jr. and the journey that he went through for 13 years. He helped so many others with their questions and fears,  people would call him to talk to others new to the dyalisis world. I watched him face everything he had to face and he did it with determination and a sense of humor. I'm walking because I want my dad and others to know that I'm so proud of his fight and his journey, and that there is still life and laughter throughout the journey ❤️
