My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

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

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.

My Updates

Week 1

Wednesday 9th Oct
I wanted to share a little bit more about why I’ve decided to take on this challenge

Other than raising funds for a worthy cause of course 

One of the things I’ve really struggled with since starting dialysis has been getting back into a fitness routine. 

At first I was dealing with the consequences of my kidneys not working for a couple of months, and the toll that took on my body. As the months have gone on though I’ve started feeling better, but hadn’t found the motivation to get back into the gym. I’ve been slowly going once a week, keen to not overdo it, but now I’m ready to pick up the pace a little. Walking 60km across a month felt like a great place to start!

My reason why

Tuesday 1st Oct
8 years ago I was given a diagnosis of kidney disease. The doctors at the time prescribed a few different treatments, all designed to give me some function back in my kidneys and keep me going. 

For 8 years my kidney function has got better and dropped at different times, unfortunately earlier this year I was given a diagnosis of my kidneys failing completely and needing to start dialysis immediately. I’ve been on dialysis since the start of the year and will be until I can get a kidney transplant

Kidney Health Australia has been an incredible source of information during this time and it is for this reason I’m walking 60km during October to raise funds and awareness
