Why I Walk

In 1999 my dad, Armin Müller, received a pediatric kidney transplant, after PKD induced kidney failure. In 2012 I was a living donor kidney recipient after my kidneys failed due to PKD.

This November, just days after the 2022 NKF Kidney Walk I will celebrate 10 years with my “new” kidney. My donor continues to thrive, and I am so grateful for her gift, which allows me to live a dialysis-free life.

I walk in honor of my living donor, and memory of my dad, and to support the important work of NKF.

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 also volunteer as an NKF advocate, working to help enact legislation critical to the kidney patient community.

Are you with me?
