My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

In July this year, I donated my 'spare' kidney to my husband, thanks to God's grace, support from family and friends, prayers and a wonderful medical team, he is doing great. There has not been a great deal of change in the way kidney failure is treated in the past 20 years. This October, I’m going to compete in the Red Socks Run as life depends on it. I hope it will help find new ways to help others who go through kidney disease.

By walking 60km I want to raise awareness of the 60hrs that people affected by kidney disease need to spend on dialysis each month.

Please donate to my page to raise funds for research into life-saving treatments, and provide support to the families of the 66 Australians that lose their life each day to kidney disease.

YOU can make a difference – Join me and help create a future where kidney health is a priority for all Australians.
