The Importance of Red Socks Run

With 1.8 million Australians unaware they’re living with signs of kidney disease, your support has never been more critical.

Kidney disease can affect anyone at any time and is still a life-long incurable disease. With most of the signs of kidney disease going unnoticed until the kidneys are close to failure, finding out you have kidney disease can often be too late.

By joining us this October, you can help bring awareness to kidney disease and raise much needed funds.
So, get on your feet, pull up your socks, and Red Socks Run 60km for kidney health.

Why do we wear Red Socks?

Currently, there is no cure for kidney disease. Once diagnosed with kidney failure, many people will spend long periods of time undertaking dialysis.

Australians undergoing dialysis spend an average of 60 hours per month strapped to a machine that cleans their blood.

Although it’s a life-saving treatment the aftermath can leave people feeling extremely fatigued, unwell, dizzy and nauseous. Whilst on dialysis, a person's body will get very cold, particularly their feet.

So, this October let your ankles do the talking and wear your Red Socks to show people living with kidney disease you care.
