Why I Walk

As most of you know, Trish gave me a kidney October 2021 to save my life!  It was a surprise that my kidneys failed, and when transplanted I was down to 12% of my kidneys and feeling terrible.  I still take antirejection drugs that have some brutal side effects, but hopefully with more research those can be a thing of the past!

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?
