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.

My diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) was life changing for my family and my wife’s family. I am one of the fortunate ones who was able to find a living donor (my wife) and had a successful kidney transplant in March 2023. This life changing event helped me understand how difficult this experience can be for so many people. 

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?
