In the National Kidney Foundation Walk? Our walk is May 3rd in TN (I'm from AL but my whole family is from TN and my mom is a team captain).
Last year I helped my sister raise money to walk but I didn't officially participate. I barely raised $100 so I was hesitant about participating this year. However I've raised all but $35 of my $500 goal. I told my Mom that I think people feel sorry for me this year, LOL, since I am on dialysis! Hee hee! Surprisingly enough, I've recieved lots of donations from old classmates and friends from Facebook. Lots of people give just $5 can add up quickly! I'm geeked!!
Want to see my page? There's a picture of my mom and my 3 sisters and I on that page - we're cutting up a little!

Good for you! We had our area Kidney Walk last Saturday. They are a good way to connect with others in the area dealing with kidney disease. Here is the thread about our Walk for the past two years http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=12050.0 (http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=12050.0) Good luck and have fun!! Let us know how it goes :2thumbsup;

I can't make it to the walk, my mother in law lives in GA close enough. But we just can't afford to make it down there anytime soon. But I did post your link on my facebook and myspace. So hopefully you get a little here and there. I think its wonderful what your doing. Thanks
