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.
10 years ago, my kidneys were failing and I only had 13% kidney function left when my doctor told me I needed a transplant. Within 4 months my sister was able to donate one of her kidneys to me. Within these 10 years, I have been able to live a life I never imagine I could have. I gave birth to my precious baby boy 2 years ago and he is my greatest blessing. If it weren't for my sister giving me a second chance at life- I would not have my AJ. God is so good and I thank him everyday for the blessings in my life. 

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.
