Why I Walk

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. My family is so fortunate that after waiting for 2 years my father finally got the life changing call that he would receive a transplant. Seeing my father regain his freedom and health is something I can never thank the surgeons, nurses and donor for enough. Raising money for this cause so dear to my heart is the least I can do to help families like mine

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.
