My Achievements

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.

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.

My Why

Tuesday 1st Oct
I work in the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) space and Dialysis. It is astounding to recognise that CKD causes more deaths annually than Breast Cancer! Whilst lifestyle factors are important and can certainly make a difference, CKD does not discriminate. For those waiting for a transplant, and attending dialysis 3 x per week for up to 5 hrs at a time, the reality is that this may never eventuate. We need to raise awareness about symptoms to look out for, and the importance of Renal screening as this disease can be silent. I implore you to donate, or if you work in this space - join the challenge! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
