I’m using my live stream to raise funds to support the National Kidney Foundation. I am included in the 37 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease and there are millions of people who are at risk, and those who care for and about them.
Did you know that 1 in 3 American adults are at risk for kidney disease? Major risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney failure and being age 60 or older. Kidney disease often has no symptoms, and it can go undetected until very advanced. But a simple test can tell you if you have kidney disease.
In 2008 I was diagnosed with FSGS and was on dialysis for five years at a dialysis center. I was in and out the hospital for various reasons and lost a lot of weight. My son and I participated in the Live Kidney Exchange Program at St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, New Jersey. Even though my kidney function started to decline I was doing relatively well until April 2020 when emergency surgery knocked at the remaining kidney function and I had to go back on dialysis. This time around I decided to do home hemodialysis. I feel great while I wait for a kidney and I want to show there is life during dialysis.
I’m sharing my live stream channel to raise funds to advance the cure of kidney disease and "To Get to the Root of Kidney Health."
Each and every donation will touch many lives. Help me bring awareness of kidney disease and kidney health.
Thank you!
