My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health
This October, I’m going to Red Socks Run as life depends on it.
By running 60km I want to raise awareness of the 60hrs that people affected by kidney disease need to spend on dialysis each month.
I (Olivia) have been in the care of a Nephrologist for one year now after a medical for work displayed proteinuria in my urinalysis sample. I am one of the lucky ones - I am only in stage one, which means I can get a head start on treatment and slow the progress. Most people do not show any visible symptoms until later stages, which by then the kidneys are deteriorating at a faster rate.
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.
YOU can make a difference – Join me and help create a future where kidney health is a priority for all Australians.
