My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, I’m going to Red Socks Run as life depends on it.

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

My partner was diagnosed with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) in 2022. It hit our family like a twister. Twisted our Normal life style into juggling appointments, to specialist check ups, surgeries and now Dialysis. My partner spends 5-6 hours on dialysis 4 times a week.  It takes a toll on his body physically, mentally and emotionally. Over the past 2 years with the help of our amazing Kidney Team he’s able to live some what kind of normal life. We can dialysis from home now and spend more time with loved ones instead of sitting in a unit. 

We are currently working on getting onto the transplant list but there is a process to follow. 

Please donate to my page to raise funds for research into life-saving treatments, and provide support to individuals and families affected by kidney failure. 

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

Thank you in advance for All donations made.
