Our Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, our little family is going to Red Socks Run as life depends on it.

As most of you know, Sam was diagnosed with end stage kidney disease just prior to us getting married. Thankfully, after nearly 5 years of dialysis, he was finally matched with a donor for a new kidney while I was pregnant with Valentino . As much of a blessing as this was for our little family, it was also a double edged sword. When Valentino was 6 weeks old, Sam was diagnosed with PTLD, directly resulting from the kidney transplant. The past 2 years have been a massive rollercoaster ride for the three of us, but we are learning to climb this mountain too.

By walking 60km we want to raise awareness of the 60hrs that people affected by kidney disease need to spend on dialysis each month.

Please donate to our 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 us and help create a future where kidney health is a priority for all Australians.

Sam's first walk !

Sam walked a total of 3kms today with his carer Coreena. That's a big effort for Sam, who finds it hard to go long distances. Slow and steady wins the race. This photo was taken when they got home !

We're on track!
