Who I am and why I am walking:

I will be walking with my family and co-workers for the 2022 National Capital Area Kidney Walk on October 22nd.  I am the Living Donor Kidney Transplant Social Worker at Inova Fairfax Medical Campus in Northern Virginia.  I walk because our patients are coping with End Stage Renal Disease, most are on dialysis, and all are in need of a life saving kidney transplant to ensure they can have the longest and best quality of life they can with their families and friends!

I walk to support the life changing work of the National Kidney Foundation:

• To ensure that patients, their families and living donors will have a place to turn when they need answers about kidney disease, transplant and living donation.
• To keep up the fight for policy changes to protect kidney patients and living donors.
•  To drive innovation in transplantation and get more people off the kidney transplant waitlist.

Are you with me?  I hope so!  Thanks in advance for your generous donation!
