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.
In 2021 I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease (kidney failure) and told I would need a kidney transplant to save my life.  In addition, due to the effects of covid, I am mobility impaired so walking is challenging for me.  So I'm participating in this walk to symbolize that I'm still fighting no matter what!!!
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?
