Red Socks Challenge 2026

Help me reach my goal of $800

There are over 25,000 people in Australia living with kidney failure. There is no cure. Dialysis or a kidney transplant are needed to stay alive.

I’m fundraising to help transform the future of kidney disease. Please support me and help fund vital services and research to ensure those affected can live their best lives.

Together we can transform the future for everyone affected by kidney disease.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you for all the donations so far. I have managed to raise enough to get new socks (far left in the photo below) of all my previous socks and a new hat. All practical things for when I am out doing my 60k my way. 

Another year, another challenge

Wednesday 19th Aug
I can't believe how quick the last year has gone. I have been very lucky that my kidney function has been mostly stable for this time. With all my other health issues it is nice to know that this one is causing the least amount of concern. 

This year will be probably one of the hardest but easiest yet. Hard because I have been struggling with fatigue and some days just moving around the house with stability is an issue, but easy because this October I will be on holidays interstate for over half the month and will be pushing myself to enjoy and experience everything I can while I am there. 

Support doesn't always need to be financial, just sharing and reaching out helps. It is also a good reminder to raise awareness for kidney disease. 

Thank you to everyone who supports me in my efforts.
