My Achievements

My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

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

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.Β 

YOU can make a difference – Join me and help create a future where kidney health is a priority for all Australians.

A little about me and why this is important to me

Friday 13th Sep
Okay, just want to say I am not so good at this blog thing!

My primary motivation for participating in the Red Socks Run is to raise awareness of kidney disease, something that has had a big impact in family. Yes, raising money is important and I am grateful for any donations, but raising awareness is most important to me.

I, and other members of my family, have polycystic kidney disease. At present, I am in good health, all things considered (something I am incredibly grateful for). However, the impact of this disease is ever present in my family - my brother recently had a kidney transplant (thankfully has gone as well as could be hoped) after being on dialysis for some time, and my dad is on dialysis. I, too, will require dialysis at some point, but am hopeful that is some time away.Β
