Why I Walk

I walk because many of my friends and family are affected by Alport Syndrome. There is currently no cure, and it unfortunately progresses from a very young age. I hope to see change within the medical world so dialysis and kidney transplants are not the only option for men and women under 40. 
Being involved with the National Kidney Foundation allows for: 

• families to have a place to turn when they need answers.
• a fight for policy changes to protect kidney patients and living donors
• Innovation in transplantation and get more loved ones off the kidney transplant waitlist.

Please consider joining our team to raise awareness, or supporting my efforts with a donation. :) 

Love, 
Kelsey
