In May of 2021, I was going about my day as usual. Running errands, having lunch, and treating myself to a spa day.  I've battled Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) for a number of years. During my battle, I received the most devastating phone from my doctor stating that I must report to Holy Cross Hospital because I needed emergency dialysis. Long story short, I have been on Peritoneal Dialysis since and living every day beating CKD. 

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.

Are you with me?
