Why I Walk

  I donated a kidney in February 2022 and I'm doing great!  6 months after surgery it was so exciting to see my recipient jumping off the diving board and swimming after 2-3 years of not being able to swim due to all the tubes he had in him!  Now he's full of life, back to work and vacationing with family. It was a really great experience for me and I'm back to kayaking and hiking again myself!
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.
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.

Are you with me?
