Why I Run

I am so excited to run to raise funds that support the National Kidney Foundation. My grandfather (Papa) died too early from complications of kidney disease and I wish he was here with me every day. I want to do my part to support this cause to help the next round of patients get treated and live long, prosperous lives!

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.

The National Kidney Foundation 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 advances possible by donating to my efforts!

Thank you for your support!
