Why I Walk

I walk because I know firsthand how kidney disease affects people and their families. This year, I am walking in honor of my late father, Catalino Macahilig, Jr., who passed away this year due to kidney disease. Many of my family members and friends, myself included, have also been diagnosed with kidney related health conditions.   

I walk to support the lifechanging work of the National Kidney Foundation. Why should you walk? 
     - 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.
     - To help support increased research to help end and cure chronic kidney diseases. 

Even if you cannot attend the walk or donate, it is also greatly appreciate if you can spread the word to your friends and family so that we can all try to meet our goal!

Thank you very much!
