Why I Walk

As some of you may know, I was born with only one kidney. Prayerfully, it will keep working well for the rest of my life. But if not, I will be going straight to God in prayer, to NKF for help, and one of the many intelligent and caring nephrologists that partner with the NKF.

I walk for…
• my cousin Devon who died at just 36 years old while waiting on a kidney transplant.
• my cousin Trisa who is a kidney cancer survivor.
• all of the beautiful kidney patients that I’ve met since starting to work at NKF.
• the parents of the children who have kidney disease.
• all those who are at-risk and don’t know it.
• the medical professionals who treat their patients like family, and put in extra time volunteering and getting education to move the needle in a positive direction for the whole kidney community.

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.
