Why I Walk

As many of you know, our son Jax was born on August 7th with kidney failure. He developed a rare condition in the womb that caused devastating urinary reflux to his kidneys. This ultimately led to complete kidney failure. Jax has been on dialysis since just 3 days old and is still in the NICU. He will continue dialysis every night once discharged and will eventually need a kidney transplant. 

All of that being said, he is an absolute champ and the bravest boy I know 🩵

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 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?
