My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health
This October, I’m walking for every person living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). On average, a person with end stage CKD spends 60 hours per month on dialysis to stay alive. My goal is to walk 60kms per week to raise awareness and move towards a future without dialysis.
I have been living with end stage CKD and having dialysis for the past 4 years. Although I was determined not to let CKD stop me from enjoying life, there are certain challenges and limitations that are unavoidable.
I was lucky enough to receive a kidney transplant in March this year, and I am now free from dialysis. Words can’t express how incredible this new found freedom feels, and how grateful I am to have received the gift of a new life, but it certainly hasn’t been an easy road to get to this point!
There are currently 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.
Please donate to support a better future for people with kidney disease.

Thank you for your dedication and for increasing awareness! Dialysis and transplant recovery is not an easy road. My brother Chez Zanardo was also on dialysis for several years and received a kidney transplant in March 2025. He reached 6 months post transplant just recently and is thankfully doing incredibly well. Thank you for supporting this cause 🩷🩷

Lorin……you are one of the people in this world that is special! Special to people like me that sees what you have been through and not even able to comprehend a fraction of it what you have been though. I complain of man flu! Keep doing what you do as it is natural to be so strong and help make the world see and be greatful for our daily lives and hopefully start to care for the rest of the world
