National Kidney Foundation - CT Kidney Walk
When we started Dylan’s Journey in 2017, I was looking for some way to get involved in the fight against Kidney disease. I honestly didn't know what to do. None of us did. After some research I found the National Kidney Foundation and made a year-end donation in honor of our son. In January of 2018, the NKF Northeast Executive Director reached out to us and wanted to know Dylan's story. She ended up coming to our house to meet with us in person. That meeting was instrumental in getting us on the right track for a living donor. Since then, we have stayed engaged with the NKF and continue our year-end donations.
We participated in the NKF Kidney Walk in 2018. COVID canceled walks in 2020 & 2021. Last year we were on a cross-country road trip and could not attend. Since Dylan is back on the transplant list, this year’s walk is really important to us all. Below, I’ve provided the link to the NKF Connecticut Kidney Walk. It takes place Sunday, October 1st, 9:00 AM, at Hubbard Park in Meriden, CT.
If you live near Meriden and would like to walk with us, please click the “Registration” button and follow the prompts. Be sure to join our team “Dylan’s Journey”. If you can’t join us for the walk please consider a donation button. No amount is too little. Remember to select “Team” as the recipient and type “Dylan’s Journey” in the search bar. You can trust that the NKF will put our funds to work on kidney disease research, donor/recipient advocacy, and patient care.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Mark McBeth & Terri, Dylan and Darcie
