Why I Walk

I walk because I was born with an under developed, not well functioning kidney.  My right kidney was removed when I was 7 years old in the hopes that my renal hypertension would resolve.  

I am now a 13 year old with a solitary kidney learning to live with renal hypertension. I am learning the importance of living an active lifestyle and eating healthy meals.  I want to bring awareness to others in my same situation.  I walk to support others.

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?
