My Red Socks Challenge for Kidney Health

Hi, I'm Brooke.

I'm taking on the Red Socks Challenge because kidney disease isn't just a cause I care about—it's something I've lived with for most of my life. My journey has included countless appointments, surgeries, and challenges, but it's also taught me resilience and the importance of giving back.

Running has become my way of turning something difficult into something positive. Every kilometre I complete is for the people living with kidney disease, their families, and those who are no longer with us. By taking part in the Red Socks Challenge, I hope to raise awareness, start conversations, and help fund the incredible work of Kidney Health Australia.

Thank you for supporting me and this amazing cause. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement means the world, and together we can make a real difference.
