Why I Move
I move 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.

In July 2015, both of my parents passed away at a young age. My mom had brain cancer at 56 and my dad had numerous health issues at 60. After watching both of my parents struggle with their health for years, I decided to take control of my own.
I chose the National Kidney Foundation because my father suffered from kidney failure for many years. He was on dialysis for 8 years and I know this disease took a toll on his life.
Right now, 37 million American adults are living with kidney disease, and I’m not okay with that. I move because 1 in 3 people are at risk for kidney disease. I move because more than 1 in 7 people have it but aren’t aware.I move 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.
