Red Socks Challenge 2026

To raise awareness for those living with Kidney Disease

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. It’s more common than you realise!

For Dad ❤️

Saturday 22nd Aug

My dad lived the last few years of his life with kidney disease. He spent countless hours every single week hooked up to a dialysis machine just to keep him here with us. Yet through all of it, he continued working full-time, being a dad, being a partner, and somehow still making time for the family and friends he loved.


Kidney disease isn’t pretty. It takes so much from a person and can have an enormous impact on their quality of life. Watching someone you love go through it gives you an appreciation for just how much strength it takes to keep showing up, day after day.


I have so much love and respect for anyone living with kidney disease, and for the families who walk alongside them through it. ❤️
