My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, I’m going to be taking part in the Red Socks Run for a second year in a row, in memory of our legend of a Dad 🕊️ 

By running 60km I want to raise awareness of the 60hrs that people affected by kidney disease need to spend on dialysis each month.

Losing Dad recently has put into perspective just how fortunate he was to avoid dialysis. 12 years ago our absolute hero underwent a kidney transplant as part of the Living Donor Program.  Fortunately for us, Dads wife and our beautiful step mum Marg was able to donate one of her kidneys. Without that, life would have probably been very different for Dad. 

So as we come into the beautiful spring weather, what better way to enjoy the sun and make a difference, whilst also raising awareness for KHA - a cause that Dad supported and was proudly a board member of for some years.

Those who know me well, know how much I hate running, so 60km over the month ain’t going to be easy, cos cardio is not a strong point of mine ☺️

So please please please donate to my page to raise funds for research into life-saving treatments, and provide support to the families of the 66 Australians that lose their life each day to kidney disease.

Much Love,

Lou ♥️

Holey Moley 😳 5 days into October and over half way to reaching target!!! Better get my skates on!

Grateful is an understatement ♥️

Check out what @kidneyhealth Australia can do with these dollars in my most recent fb and Insta post!

For our family and following Dad’s transplant in 2011, he had some health complications which meant he needed to stay in the metro area for 4months. Through KHA he was able to access a Kidney Transplant House for this time, only a short distance from hospital. Without these amazing resources, many families would be doing it a lot tougher!

Thank you legends ♥️
