Why I Run
Right now, 37 million American adults are living with kidney disease. I am running 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.

I was born with a duplicated urinary system and when I was 18 months old, I underwent a bilateral ureteral reimplantation surgery. As a result, I have long-term kidney complications and am at risk for developing kidney disease. Running for Team Kidney is personal, and I look forward to raising money for an organization that helps those suffering from kidney disease.

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