Why I Walk

I am walking for my Dad, Jon, who lost a years long battle with kidney failure in 2021. It is an honor to walk in his memory and the day of the NYC walk marks 1.5 years exactly without him, which is hard to believe. My family and I miss him every day; we love you, Dad!

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 life changing 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.

Please consider supporting my efforts with a generous donation.
