Why I Walk

Hi friends, 

I walk because my dad was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, and he was going to be put on dialysis. I didn't know much about kidneys and kidney donation, but with the support of my twin, I volunteered to donate my kidney to my dad. I learned so much about kidneys, ckd, and the donation process and some of my personal research was done through the National Kidney Foundation. I donated my kidney to my dad in September 2023 and he's doing sooo well now!! Doing this walk is for him, my twin who supported me through the donation, for myself, and all those who are affected by kidney disease. 

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.

Come walk with me!
