Why We Walk

This year, I have gathered a team to join others throughout the country to fight against kidney disease. On September 15, 2024 we’ll walk for our loved ones, colleagues or friends who cope with this devastating chronic illness each day – and for those who lost their fight too soon.

One of those people was my father, who was gone at 54 years old from a complication of this disease. I have the disease as well and am determined to get the best care I can and to help support research to further advancements in research of treatment options, as there is no cure.

Together, we 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.

Will you join us?

Walk with us and fundraise or support our efforts with a donation to improve the lives of kidney patients in our community and across the country.
