This April, 21-year-old Zoe was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that caused kidney failure. She has been on dialysis while finishing her bachelor's degree at K-State. We are participating in this year's NKF Kidney Walk in Wichita to raise kidney health awareness for people of all ages.

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.

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?
