My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, I’m showing up for every renal unit, every patient and moving towards a future without dialysis.  

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.

Why I am participating in the Red Socks Run

Thursday 25th Sep
You might be asking yourself - why is Melissa doing this Red Socks Run thing & why should I support her.......

At the age of 10 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. The type I have is ADPKD, which means that it's inherited from one parent. Being the first person in my family to be diagnosed helped uncover that there were other family members unknowingly living with this disease. Some have had transplants and are currently undergoing dialysis. 

It is a cause very close to my heart & I want to raise awareness and money to help transform the future of those living with this disease. There currently is no cure.
