My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, I’m going to Red Socks Run as life depends on it.

I have a very personal reason for wanting to do this.  My daughter Lauren has had CKD her whole life and in the last couple of months her condition has deteriorated to a point where she requires a kidney transplant.  Luckily I am a match to be a kidney donor and she is having a preemptive kidney transplant with surgery booked for early November.  This will hopefully allow her to avoid dialysis.  However it is still a possibility.

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

Please donate to my page to raise funds for research into life-saving treatments, and provide support to individuals and families affected by kidney failure. 

YOU can make a difference – Join me and help create a future where kidney health is a priority for all Australians.
