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.

Our Family has a genetic kidney disease known as Polycystic Kidney Disease. My sister and I have received transplants within the last 8 years and several of our children, nieces and nephews have been diagnosed and will one day face this same challenge. This disease progresses over time creating many challenges and life changes along the way.   

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?
