My Red Socks Challenge for Kidney Health

I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease when I was just 10 years old. I have lived with this my whole life, as it's a hereditary disease, but it’s never stopped me from getting out there, having fun and making the most of life. I’m a big believer in living life to the fullest!

This October, I’m making a little more noise about it by taking on the Red Socks Challenge and walking 60km to raise money for Kidney Health Australia.

The 60km represents the approximately 60 hours someone on dialysis can spend connected to a machine each month - something that means a little more to me having seen the impact of kidney disease firsthand.

If you can spare a few dollars, I’d really appreciate your support.
