Why I Walk

This year, on September 19th, I celebrated one year with a new kidney. I was very fortunate, and my future looks bright. However, there are many people suffering from kidney disease who are on dialysis and on long waiting lists for a new kidney. In the United States, 35.5 million adults, or 1 in 7, have chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, up to 9 in 10 adults with CKD are unaware of their condition. So I ask you to do 2 things. Go to your doctor, have your kidney function tested, and donate to the National Kidney Foundation.

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

To ensure families 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? Please consider supporting my efforts with a generous donation.
