Why I Walk

I walk because too many families are coping with this devastating chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come. While this illness hasn’t affected me directly, it has touched the lives of others—and that’s reason enough to take action.

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.
