Why I Walk

I walk to honor my superhero Dad! 7 years ago, this past July, my Dad received one of the most amazing gifts from Nancy, a beautiful woman on the inside and out. Nancy made the decision to donate one of her kidneys to my Dad and save his life. We are forever grateful! 

I also 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.

I walk to support the lifechanging 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.

Are you with me?

Please consider joining us on Sunday, September 15th for the 2024 Connecticut Kidney Walk at Hubbard Park or feel free to donate to help us raise money towards our goal!
