WHY I WALK 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 am a hemodialysis nurse and I see the effects of this disease in my patients on a daily basis. A diagnosis of KD is a life altering event, and has significant effects on that person. 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?? 🙂 PLEASE consider joining in the fight against kidney disease with a generous donation!
