Why I Walk

I walk because I am a nurse manager of the hemodialysis unit at St. Vincent Hospital.  I have seen the way kidney disease affects my patients.  I have also seen the effect it has had on friends and family members.
I walk because too many families are coping with this devastating chronic illness, and thousands more will face an unexpected kidney disease diagnosis in the year to come.

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?
