Why I Walk

I walk because too many individuals and families (like me & mine) are coping with this devastating chronic disease.  Unfortunately, thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the coming year. I also walk to support those people who have taken care of me and continue to take good care of me even now!

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.

I was fortunate, I had a wonderful friend donate one of her kidneys to me 3 months ago!  She and I are both doing great!

Please consider supporting my efforts with a generous donation.
