Red Socks Challenge 2026

We can do this

This October, I’m taking on 60km for kidney disease, and this challenge is incredibly personal to me.


I’m doing it for my uncle John, who is now living without kidneys and relies on dialysis four to five times a week because of kidney disease. Seeing what he goes through and how much kidney disease can change someone’s everyday life has given me a very personal reason to take on this challenge.


Kidney disease also affects other members of my family. While thankfully they haven’t reached the same stage as my uncle, it is something that is very close to all of our hearts.


So every kilometre I complete this October will be for my uncle, for the other members of my family affected by kidney disease, and for everyone living with the challenges that come with it.


60km. One month. For my uncle, my family, and everyone fighting kidney disease. ❤️
