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.

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.

       October 2023, I was diagnosed with Bi-Lateral Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by the VA Hospital here in Indianapolis, Indiana.  
       June 2024,  The VA Hospital conducted a bioscopy procedure for further research & development regarding microplastics and the PACT-Act for future Veteran Patients. 
      My current Kidneys functionality is 35%  and holding steady.

Are you with me?

Semper Fi,
