Red Socks Run 2024

My Achievements

My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

I'm doing this for Lennox my son and all the other people suffering from CKD and kidney related issues. I will be walking, running and riding 500kms over October and I hope to raise $2,000.


Lennox, my 5 year old son was diagnosed with chronic Kidney disease at the age of 3. We took him to the hospital on boxing day 2022, before his 4th birthday he had 15 procedures, including, pyeloplasty, deflux, multiple emergency surgeries after his bowel shut down and abdomen filled up with free fluid and multiple infections. It's been a hard couple of years for Lennox, he was on antibiotics for over a year, he now has bladder issues that we need to go to the royal children's hospital in Brisbane to have tests done, he is on laxatives every day which means he poos his pants sometimes up to 4 times a day, which is really hard for him and he feels embarrassed. He also had an underlying infection in his foot when he was 2 years old which resulted in 4 surgeries, we didn't know at the time but it was a result of his kidney disease. He only has one kidney now, which still has issues, but we are so thankful for the amazing surgeons, doctors and Nurses at GCUH & Tweed hospital.


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


By running, walking, or riding 500km 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.
