Why I Run
Right now, 37 million American adults are living with kidney disease, and I’m not okay with that. I run 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.
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.
This will be the second time that I have ran for the National Kidney Foundation. The first time was so enjoyable I wanted to do it again at my favorite marathon, the TCS NYC Marathon! Organizations like this are so important to my family and me. My dad suffered from polycystic kidney disease and was the recipient of a kidney transplant when I was a kid. Because of this, I was fortunate enough to have another 23 years with him. I am running again in his honor and to spread the importance of regular check ups for kidney health. Early detection can be the difference!
Join me in making these advances possible by donating to my efforts!
Thank you for your support!
