My Red Socks Challenge for Kidney Health

October has come around again, and time to don the red socks in support for dialysis patients across Australia.

Each month they spend 60 hours at least relying on a machine to keep them somewhat healthy, but never away from the next dialysis  treatment.

To bring awareness to this and our major goal, #enddialysis by2050  Im taking part in the october 

#Redsockschallenge walking 60km in the month to support dialysis patients and raise funds to help end dialysis. 60 KM for 60 hours a patient  depends on a machine every month,

my journey with CKD

Saturday 12th Sep
My CKD journey began early at age 7, my time in and outg of hospital was not easy as i missed a lot of what a normal child takes for granted, family and friends,and with a few bumps along the way like all of us, i stayed plositive. Kids are resilient like that. It was more about mum and dad who learnt the 11 bag peritoneal diialysis and b ack in 1978 were doing this at home, But i am blessed, ive had two transplants and although my current one is amazing, there is always that fear in the back of your mind, "what if this one goes too?" That is the reason i will always give back.. 
We must end dialysis by 2050.

Thank you to my Sponsors
