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.
Join me in making these advances possible by donating to my efforts!

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.
