Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey and why this walk is important to me.  I am walking because I have been coping with this chronic illness for over 5 years. Thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis this year alone.

 I walk to support the life changing work of the National Kidney Foundation.  The foundation helped to provide support to me and my children when I was first diagnosed with my rare blood disorder. They insured that I would be able to afford my treatments and medications. With the National Kidney Foundations support, I was able to find balance, receive treatment, and seek the support I needed after this traumatic diagnosis.
