My Red Socks Run for Kidney Health

This October, I’m showing up for every renal unit, every patient and moving towards a future without dialysis.  

There are over 15,000 Australians on dialysis, and that number is rising. That’s why urgent action is needed now - to slow the progression and ultimately stop it. 

Every dollar raised, every km logged, every step we take brings us closer to a future without dialysis.

Join me to honour the 60hrs a month someone spends on dialysis and together we can Move for them and Move for change!

Please donate to support a better future for people with kidney disease.

Why It Was a No-Brainer

Thursday 18th Sep

When I first suggested to Mum that she look into kidney donation, I already knew deep down what I was going to do. From the very start, there wasn’t a single moment of hesitation about putting myself forward. It just felt like the natural thing to do.

Dialysis had taken such a toll, not only on Mum, who was spending hours of her life tied to a machine several times a week, but also on Dad and all of us around her. It drained her energy, her time, and her freedom. And as a family, we felt the weight of it too.

For me, the decision to donate was never just about Mum, though of course she was my first thought. My hope was always to help at least one person, whether it was her or someone else, to live without dialysis hanging over their life. To give them the chance to feel free again.

Now, by joining the Red Socks Run, I feel like I can do even more. It’s not just about my kidney donation anymore, it’s about raising awareness and funds so that more people and families get the help they need.

I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who has already donated. Your support means the world, not just to me, but to every person who will benefit from the funds raised. Every donation is a step toward giving someone a better quality of life, and I am so deeply grateful.
