My Red Socks Challenge for Kidney Health

People on dialysis spend around 60 hours every month connected to a machine.

This October, I have
committed to the Red Socks Challenge, to stand with Australians living with kidney disease. 
 

I will be taking on 60km in October to honour the hours spent on dialysis - raising awareness and helping fund better care.

Please donate to support a better future for people with kidney disease.

Kidney fact today 20/9/2026
The kidneys remove harmful wastes like urea, creatinine, extra acids, and leftover medicines, keeping your blood clean and your body healthy.

day 2

Sunday 20th Sep
I’d like to share over the next month and a bit important information concerning our kidneys.
I’ll post a new fact each day.
Firstly we’ll look at how they work.
They filter 120-125 ml per min which is 180 litres of fluid per day.
Almost all of that fluid is reabsorbed with only 1.5-2 litres becoming urine.

day one

Sunday 20th Sep
I have been working as a dialysis nurse since February 2025.
Very new to the specialty.
End stage Kidney Disease means that a person will die without treatment.
So a dialysis patient normally attends a renal unit 3 days a week for 52 weeks of the year.
Kidney failure can affect anyone.
I hope to spread a little bit of interest in looking after your kidneys and maybe raise some funds for research.
Thank in advance.
