My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health
This October, my goal is to run 2km a day to raise money for people living with Kidney disease.
I’m showing up for every renal unit, every patient and moving towards a future without dialysis.
I’m also doing this for my beautiful boys, Tyler and Ben, who were both diagnosed with ARPKD at a young age. Their journey hasn’t been easy - filled with appointments, scans and countless blood tests - but through it all, they face every challenge with a smile.
They are true warriors, and this run is for them 💚
There are over 15,000 Australians on dialysis, and that number is rising. That’s why urgent action is needed now - to slow the progression and ultimately stop it.
Every dollar raised, every km logged, every step we take brings us closer to a future without dialysis.
Join me to honour the 60hrs a month someone spends on dialysis and together we can Move for them and Move for change!
Please donate to support a better future for people with kidney disease.

What is ARPKD?
Tuesday 14th OctA lot of people are probably wondering what is ARPKD (which is known as Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease)? It is a rare genetic disorder that causes fluid filled sacs or cysts, to develop in the kidneys. It affects 1 in 20,000 children. It’s caused by a genetic alteration in the gene PKHD1, which in most cases it is passed down by both parents carrying the faulty version of this gene. So that means Damian and I are both carriers of this gene and there was a 1 in 4 chance our children will develop this disease. Lucky for us, both of our children have it…. Woooo! There is no cure unfortunately, and with consistent monitoring, bloods, scans and medication, we can prolong the need for a kidney transplant as long as possible. The Doctors reckon the boys will need a kidney transplant between the ages of 8-12 years old, but we are hoping to push it out as long as possible. Have a fabulous day! ♥️🤍
