I am excited to share with you that I am participating in the upcoming New York City Marathon on behalf of the National Kidney Foundation. As someone who had kidney issues when I was a child, this cause is particularly close to my heart.

It is often a difficult time for family members supporting a loved one fighting kidney disease, but many are fortunate to have the support and guidance of organizations like the National Kidney Foundation. Their commitment to education, research, and patient care has helped countless individuals and families navigate the challenges of kidney disease.

That's why I am asking for your support as I run the New York City Marathon. By donating to the National Kidney Foundation through my fundraising page, you can help make a difference in the lives of those affected by kidney disease. Your generosity will support critical programs and services, from kidney screenings and education to transplant support and research.

Right now, 37 million American adults are living with kidney disease. I walk because 1 in 3 people are at risk for kidney disease. I run because more than 1 in 7 people have it but aren’t aware.

Thank you for your support! Every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
