My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

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

4 years ago, my Wife Vicki was Diagnosed with Kidney disease and now only has 10% kidney Function. She has been able to stave of Dialysis until now, but unfortunately that is now the next steps for her treatment or a possible Kidney Transplant. Until you have someone in your life affected by kidney disease you truly don't understand the impact it has on people and those around them. 

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 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.

Having just undergone kidney surgery myself I can relate to the discomfort and ways it effects family and the person. Thanks for doing what you can to support Kidney Health
