My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health
This October, by running, walking, or riding 250km 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.
Each move is made easier knowing it’s all for a very worthy cause that is close to my heart.
Over 1.8million Australians are unaware they’re living with signs of kidney disease. Kidney disease can affect anyone at any time and is still a life-long incurable disease. With most of the signs of kidney disease going unnoticed until the kidneys are close to failure, finding out you have kidney disease can often be too late.
My mum was 24 and pregnant when the obstetrician picked up that her kidneys were failing and after having my eldest brother and going through some testing they found out that it was an undiagnosed birth defect. A lot of damage had been done in those 24 years, which was unknown to her. All other doctors in her childhood had never picked up her illness.
My mum was lucky to receive her kidney transplant 22.5 years ago after dialysis. We are very grateful for the donor family. Her time on peritoneal dialysis is still a big memory from our childhood, we also know others that have had to attend hospital for dialysis and the challenge/commitment that brings.
Kidney disease and treatment is a life long battle. Even after having a kidney transplant and being undiagnosed from birth this has caused lots of bone issues and the medication after transplant has strong side effects on the whole body.
Please help me support this great cause for the month of October ❤️
