Red Socks Run 2023

My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, I’m going to Red Socks Run as if my 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.

As a fellow kidney warrior & someone who lives with kidney disease, I was lucky enough to have lived through dialysis treatment & come out the other side as the result of a life saving kidney transplant. I know all too well the physical, emotional & mental toll that kidney disease has on ‘kidney warriors’ & there loved ones (I use the term kidney warrior as I hate the words ‘patient & sufferer’) 

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.

This one is for all my fellow kidney warriors out there. I stand with you, I support you, I admire your courage & persistence.
