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.
Thankfully, I recently received a kidney. But, I know that not everyone, battling this illness, is as fortunate as I. There are many misconceptions about donating. I believe it's important to educate people on living kidney donation and help them undertand that they can live a full life with one kidney. 

I walk to support the life changing 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.
     -  To share information about the many forms of Kidney Disease.
     -  To inform and bring awareness to people about living kidney donation.

Are you with me?

Please consider supporting my efforts with a generous donation.
