Hello!!

Thank you for traveling to my 2023 TCS New York City Marathon Fundraising Page in support of raising money for the National Kidney Foundation! I chose to run for this organization because my father has polycystic kidney disease. My mother turned out to be a match in 2007 and donated a kidney to my dad. And he is still doing great. How crazy was that! I want to lend a hand to other families who are not as fortunate.

Right now, 37 million American adults are out there living with kidney disease. Unlike Polycystic Kidney Disease which is genetic, 1 in 3 people are at risk for kidney failure, and more than 1 and 7 already have it and are not aware. 

I run to raise funds that support the National Kidney Foundation, who was the first to identify kidney disease as a distinct, treatable illness. They developed the staged system of kidney disease diagnosis and treatment – a worldwide standard today – and release and update treatment guidelines to improve patient care.

Join me in making these advancements possible by donating today!

Thank you for your support :)
