Join our team and honor our wife and mother Mary Eva Letourneau!!
Why I Walk
We walk in honor of Mary Eva Letourneau, our wife and mother who courageously fought her stage 5 kidney failure. Her battle began before we knew what was going on. Once she decided to start dialysis, 4 times a week for 3 hours, she had a hard fight ahead of her and she never fought alone. She put in hard work and persevered through many obstacles. Even with how hard it was for her, she always put others needs first. Heart breakingly, she lost her fight with kidney failure on September 12, 2023.
We walk not only to honor her battle with kidney failure but the amazing life and legacy she left behind. She was caring, hard working, loving, one of a kind, selfless, a wonderful cook, and a million other things that our family, and many others that knew her miss her beyond words.
This year, our team has joined others throughout the country to fight against kidney disease. On October 06, 2024 we’ll walk for our loved ones, colleagues or friends who cope with this devastating chronic illness each day – and for those who lost their fight too soon.Together, we 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.
