Heidi's StoryMy reasons for participating in and fundraising for the Kidney Walk are deeply personal. Not only am I a dialysis patient – I am also a dialysis nurse. -
Riley's StoryBoth Riley’s mother and uncle are kidney transplant recipients. As a result of this, Riley always talked about how he would donate a kidney later in life, so the choice to donate his organs was simple, and he was able to save five people with his selfless gift. -
Nick's StoryI am 18 years old. I’m starting college. I’m on scholarship. I’ve met a pretty girl. And I’m captain of the downhill ski team. But a routine checkup alerts my ski coach and my doctor. -
Stewart’s StoryHave you heard of the PAX2 gene? Neither had I. However, when I was an adolescent, I found out that my PAX2 gene had a rare mutation, causing me to develop kidney disease.
