Please sponsor me and my new kidney to walk 22 kilometres for the Kidney society

Tēna koutou

In 2021 I received a new kidney from my niece Issie.

I have a hereditary kidney disease that was diagnosed when I was 20. My kidney function slowly deteriorated until I required dialysis in 2017. I had to hook up to a dialysis machine every night for about 12 hours. I had the transplant on the 1 September 2020 the day we went into lockdown!

I can now lead a relatively normal life and have lots more energy and motivation to do things like walk 22 kilometres!

I’m one of the lucky ones! There are still lots of people on the waiting list for a kidney who need the support of the kidney society.

The Kidney Society supports those with Kidney Disease and their families to be educated, empowered and feel supported with the resources they need through a range of programmes and services.

Every dollar you donate makes a tangible difference, helping Kidney Society support those affected by kidney disease to have the best quality of life possible for them.

Thank you for supporting the kidney society
