Whew! Good thing my blog posts these days don't have deadlines! I have been an irresponsible blogger but as the time for the kidney walk of 2012 approaches, I believe it's a good time to get to writing. Where do I start? Oh yeah, life is amazing!!!!! I feel so healthy and free and have never appreciated life so much. I am campaigning for the upcoming 2012 Kidney Walk being held at Rhodes college on June 2. It is a 2 mile non competitive walk and all of the funds raised go directly to the National Kidney Foundation. They are an awesome organization. They (NKF) are actually the ones that sent me to Washington to speak to Congress about dialysis. I believe it is so important to continue to give to this organization because they aid in prevention, treatment and research. Kidney disease affects 26 million Americans. That breaks down to 1 in 9 people. Chances are, someone you know is or will be affected by kidney disease. I never thought in a million years I would suffer from kidney disease! But I did.....and with God's grace, awesome doctors in Iowa and Lindsey, I beat it. I want to see everyone beat it. Life is so precious....but when it's almost been jerked away from you and you make it through, it is EXTRA sweet the second time. Please consider donating. Any dollar amount helps! www.kidneywalk.org
I truly appreciate you all!
