Dear Friends,
I am supporting National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin (NKFW) with the 2023 Cool Beans Adventure. This event is a virtual challenge that raises awareness and support for people in our community impacted by kidney disease or organ transplantation. Please consider joining me in this adventure by making a gift, and amplifying the message by sharing this with family and friends.
I will be striving to log 19 miles of activity between July 12 and July 22 and I’ve already completed 9.63 miles, so I am more than half way there! The number 19 represents the fact that only 1 in 9 people with kidney disease are aware of their condition. By catching kidney disease early, encouraging appropriate interventions, and increasing the availability of organs for transplant - we can help people in Wisconsin enjoy more healthy years.
As some of you may remember, in January of 2018 I donated one of my kidneys to my cousin Jamie at the University of Wisconsin transplant center, so this fundraiser is near and dear to my heart (kidney 😉).
Thank you for considering this opportunity. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families affected by kidney disease or organ transplantation in Wisconsin.
Thank you!
