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.

My Updates

My kidney journey

Wednesday 30th Sep

Hi 👋 

In November 2025 I was rushed to hospital after a blood test and an appointment with my GP and seeing a cardiologist as well my urine had changed colour 

On arrival at the hospital ER I was told I was in heart and kidney failure 

On top of that I had a really severe infection in my lungs sepsis had set in I was away with the birds 

After getting on top of the infection they were focusing on my heart and Kidneys over time my heart fixed it self but my kidneys never recovered I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and started on Dialysis I was in and out of hospitals November December January it finally settled down and I was discharged we were travelling back and forth to Footscray and sunshine hospitals I finally got a spot in the Sunbury Dialysis unit 5 minutes from home 

And have been receiving dialysis there since February 

With all the time I needed to do something while dialysing and your post popped up that's were I got on board with you guys 

Cheers Paul Levey
