Why I Walk

I walk because too many people like my patients and their families are coping with this devastating chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come.  I've seen the struggles and stress when a patient has to start dialysis, and I've been fortunate to care for friends, whom have been given their life back with a transplant.  

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 hope to see you at the Walk!  In addition, last year, I pledged to run a mile for every $100 I raised.  While I didn't run it all in a day, I did run over a marathon that week.  I'm hoping to go further this year.  Are you with me?
