There are over 25,000 people in Australia living with kidney failure. There is no cure. Dialysis or a kidney transplant are needed to stay alive.
I’m taking on a challenge to help transform the future of kidney disease. Please support me and help fund vital services and research to ensure those affected can live their best lives.
Together we can transform the future for everyone affected by kidney disease.
Thank you for your support!

																							Make my steps count, 62km so far #enddialysisby2050
Saturday 18th Oct 
											Decades and no real change
Right now, 1 in 7 Australians are living with signs of chronic kidney disease.
There is no cure. For many, dialysis will be the only option.
But your gift today can fund life-changing research to transform lives now and into the future.
Dialysis assists people in living longer, but not better. It’s physically demanding, mentally exhausting, and limits what people can do.
Your support funds life-changing research to unlock new treatments, earlier detection and alternatives to dialysis so people have more options and a better quality of life.

																							Not all CKD patients can have dialysis
Monday 13th Oct People think that everyone with CKD can have dialysis, this is usually due to other underlying illnesses. These treatments that these CKD patients undergo can be more dangerous and weakening than dialysis itself. I'm not understating the effects of dialysis, I've been on it, we need something else. That is the main reason I'm talking part in the red socks run can we need a cure, we need to find a cure or something else to end dialysis by 2050. People believe transplants are the best answer, and for now they are, but even though I have been blessed by a transplant myself, it is not the end of the CKD path. Each hospital visit is lined with the fear of a transplant rejecting and back onto the dialysis waiting list, and of course dialysis.. that's why I'm doing the #redsoxrun to help

																							Chronic kidney disease is not about age
Wednesday 1st Oct Growing up in the Royal children's hospital renal ward, it was full of kids babies to teens. Many would always be there when I was. A 4 year old who was on dialysis. Her parents gave her a kidney transplant but it rejected and she was back onto relying on a machine. One night when I was in the ward she had come in because of a stroke due to high blood pressure.

																							why i am taking part in the red socks run 2025.
Thursday 31st Jul Over the years i have been on dialysis, 3 different types. For one, dialysis is not a cure for Chronic Kidney Disease, A dialysis patient spends at least 80 hours a month relying on a dialysis machine,It does not mean that they are feeling great when they come off of it. they will feel drained, weak and many times suffering from cramps because of the fluid drained from the body.Thank you to my Sponsors
